    with hard compounds was also fast at smaller gravel stage(10km) El Brinco.
    I said only "some", which is second loop yesterday. The first stage then was clear advantage for hard tyres, for the rest is little questionable, but Meeke said himself he was looking for more rubber at later part of the loop. I'm not sure extra tyre weight is necessary disadvantage, with proper setup and driving it can give extra grip on corner exits.

    Citroen are still taking 6 tyres for just 2 stages. That must tell something

    Meeke has a massive lead. Two spares are simply a safe option for him IMO.
