Thanks, so Organisers' decision as to the number of WRC2 cars to send. In this case, there is no battle for the WRC2 lead, but if there was can we assume that all the battling WRC2 would be sent first? Today, there are 11 WRC cars running between the leading two WRC2 cars.

It is when is hidden behind some "accident". When it's fair said, is not.

It looks like it only depends on the length of the regroup and number of cars that are running. They put in as many as needed to keep the TV-broadcast same length.
In Monte they send I think 2 cars of completely unknown drivers that were the only left in WRC2. In Mexico they also wanted to send 2.

Commentators didn't realise the situation for Teemu in there.

SUN 13:37 - SS23: NEUVILLE
Thierry's green through the splits - if not also feeling a bit green over the jumps as he launches to 55m on the last one - and he lowers the fastest time by 6.2sec. "We tried, a difficult weekend for us but we knew that coming here. We were nearly first on the road all weekend. Ogier was in a better position because he had team-mates who could help him move up a position."

Chuffed for Mads. Great to see him get his mojo back in a big way. Solberg would have been on the roof if he'd done that - so fair play to Mads that he didn't haha.
