Tricky... I want Sordo to stop the VW 1-2-3, but I want the Citroens to beat Hyundai in the Ch'ship.

hope Ogier will go Off, then let's say Latvala Wins, and Sordo Stops VW 1-2-3 and Citroens still beat Hyundai in the Ch'ship.

I think "Skoda youngsters" should drive more events first of all. For example smaller events, but just practice , practice, practice. It could help even with your self-confidence and psychical stuff (Lappi case) Pre-event tests are not good for that. I know Skoda has no interest in that , it is just business, but the drivers themselves should be interested in that. It should be priority No1 for people around them. If there is some agreement between drivers and Skoda motorsport, they should push on Skoda to let them drive some "personal projects paid by their own money" ...For example yesterday I found statistics of Simone Tempestini. He has attended 50 rallies during seasons 2014 and 2015. And he is not factory driver, just having wealthy father. Lappi attended 18 rallies during last two years. It is not enough for somebody who should evolve into world TOP driver. The evolution is not finished yet and that is why they need the practice.

So why do you think Tidemand has done this progress? He´s finally having opportunity to drive more rallies than in the past. Remember one offs with WRC car he had, doing well but nothing more. Without driving as much as you can there will be not much progress. Just like you say.

And You base that opinion on what? If they use someone it's Kopecký who has been doing a hell lot of work through the years with them never allowing him to be a No.1.

Yes, Kopecky is very visible case , but Skoda is doing it to all their drivers. Just for example one of many cases: Lappi´s last appearance in 2014 was Tour de Corse in the beginning of November and first appearance in 2015 was Rally Portugal at the end of May. It means 7 month break. Which could be very bad for progress of young driver. And there are a lot more.

IN FACT Mirek, we both agree. In my opinion Kopecky is "the material" for important things. He can drive full WRC2 season without problem. On the contrary Lappi could drive czech championship and learn a lot on the tarmac. What would happen if he fail to Pech? Nothing. Plus 4 rounds in WRC2 ...plus for example british championship paid by Skoda UK. Whatever. Just not so important rallies and much more quantity.
