Paddon won Argentina’s last day direct confrontation with Ogier and Meeke got a 34.5s advantage over the French at the end of Portugal’s 2nd leg (while last year Latvala’s leaded only by 9.5s). Trying to justify that with current starting order isn’t serious.
both these wins were because of starting order and because Latavla is nothing.

Paddons was a bit more substantial because it was a one stage dog fight and Ogier barely loses those, but with 1 day of cleaning Ogier would be the winner in those rallies.
