Can't they draft in Nicky Grist? I love hearing him talk and I think he has a passion for the sport that is difficult to match. Absolutely no one likes Desborough.

I want him to do well but I'm not some blinkered Evans apologist. I don't think he's impressed much at all during his WRC career and I have been critical of him - but I'll say what I said the other day - let's give credit where it's due.

You can't start adding on stages that didn't exist and you can't predict what would happen in them and brand that as 'fact'. There's no reason why Evans couldn't have put time into, or at least matched Latvala, in those horrendous conditions on Friday. But those stages never ran so we have what we have.
I'm ususally also very critial of Evans, but this for me a pretty impressive performance. Couldn't have said it better myself. I'd still sack him if I was Wilson though. He only ever excels on tarmac and not even always there does he do a good enough job.

For sure... he even said so himself on his FB page.
