    About Mikkelsen... I remember in 2012, before Ypres, he and Hänninen were sharing a testing location for a day, consisting of 2 short stages. Both had their own dedicated test-car from the works team and by seeing how much parts (dampers/springs, differentials, gearboxes) they took with them to try out, they were not short of money at all. Saying his car was run by an Italian team is nonsense.

    Tidemand not at the wheel of VW in Spain...does this mean he only does Wales this year and thus Kopecky is champion?

    Probably yes but Tidemand owns FabiaR5 so he can drive with it...

    I doubt he would do that just to take title in 'unfair' way. He wished Kopecky best of luck in Turkey after his exit.

    I don´t think it´s the most important whether he wins title or not this year. He has proven his abilities already.

    However where his future is is only on speculation.

    My wild guess you´ll find him in a WRC Skoda within 12 months... Until then running WRC2 in Skoda on most 2019 events, rather all.

    I think that would be a mistanke. He needs to do a few rallies already next year. MSport Fiesta looks like the only option, but Veiby doesn't want to pay for drives. Get Skoda factory to pay for his outings with Fiesta if he stays?

    If they want to be in the top, then yes, they need min. of two fast and reliable drivers. Especially now that there seem to be only 3 men scoring most of the points in both championships. So needs to step out of WRC2 asap.

    100% sure that that would never happen.

    Has happened before, in some ways is happening now, could happen again. Depends how much they want to succeed with the WRC project and whether they see him as a no. 1 or 2 driver.
