    Was checking and found out it's actually Mikkelsen's first "big" crash of the season (off course there were spins here and there). Doesn't matter if it's misheard or misread pacenote, it's still a crew mistake.

    Anyway, think Hyundai will try to keep him on the road without rally2 so that he can clean for Neuville tomorrow.

    Well Kris Meeke must be fuming.

    Clearly Citroen have made a big step forward with the times both Breen & Ostberg are capable of putting in, Breen saying the geometry feels great. If Ostberg is fighting near the front with this car my opinion is that Meeke would be battling with Tanak for the victory here.
    Such a lost opportunity for Kris, seeing the car finally performing the way he wanted and not being able to take advantage must be truly frustrating.

    On the other hand Citroen must be happy that things are finally working, but they are without a driver of Meeke's ability to take full advantage of the car and win (like he did in 2016) If Breen had avoided the puncture he would be right up there however by the looks of things!

    Going into what ifs...

    - with Meeke Citroen might not have had the money to introduce the changes
    - with Meeke it's not sure the changes would have been done at all cause:
    a) Østberg wouldn't be there to work on settings
    b) Meeke might want different changes/settings

    Getting a bit tired of all changes to the car being attributed to Meeke who was developing the car for 1 year when it turned to be crap in the first place and when real changes started first after Mikkelsen (dif), Loeb (suspension) and Østberg drove the car.

    Last but not least, Breen was much faster than Meeke here last year.

    Don't worry, tomorrow they have equal starting positions. If the Toyota does not break. Then again great to see Citroën progressing

    It will be more funny if they made this changes what Meeke pushing to do from early 2017.

    My theory is that they spent so much time trying to fix the geometry issue that they "inadvertently" created a really quick car once the fundamental problem was fixed.

    Fair points well made, especially relating to Breen being quicker here last year.
    I'm really glad for Craig that he now at least looks to be in a quick car. He has shown real speed already on this rally, which bodes well for the future.

    Personally I just would love to see what Meeke could do with this car with this setup (however that was achieved)

    Completely 100% spot on. Meeke is not the universal genius everyone thinks he is.
