Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of Meeke and Citroen but he finished only 2 stages before retiring setting 4-th and 3-rd fastest time and on Saturday he was slower than most of his rivals. He has some problems with the car also so you are maybe right that he was driving only to collect data, maybe my expectations were set very high as I was hoping he could probably fight for the win.

His rally 2 results are largely to be ignored, no point risking further damage given his position, better to gather data.
Sweden will be a better indicator of Kris/citroens performance level.
