    Ten rounds was what´s said right after or days before RGB if I´m not wrong. Could be a rumour but if I remember the quote looked quite serious. Maybe words from Matton, I don´t know?

    But isn't his family providing the funds? It's not as if he's knocking on doors looking for money.

    His dad runs a computercompany, but he has been sponsored by companies like coca cola, vi menn (a mens magasine), and a lot of others thru the years.

    I've never thought "yep, he's the next WRC star".

    There is a lot of poster child mentality in the sport today, some seats I feel were a little "gifted" to some. The amount of stand out talent today is 5 times what it was back in the 90's in my opinion.
    Sideways for life

    Being privileged enough to have been able to follow Mads from the early days i would definitely say I've been impressed, he was always awesome to watch on the stages and the fight between him and Mikkelsen in 2008 was incredible.

    I put together a Subaru video of Mads a couple years ago so you can have a watch yourself, 238.000 views says it all i think
    The Ford video only getting 6000 views must have something to do with the car i think

    No one can take anything away from Mads being a good enjoyable driver whom is enough fast and spectacular on stages. He wouldn´t be where he is otherwise.

    Exciting hearing him confirm one more year at DS (Citroen)!
