A very good result and well deserved. But form is temporary and he has not proven to be a consistent performer. At the end of the day he was one of a handful of drivers playing 2nd fiddle to Ogier last year over whom you could throw a blanket in terms of speed, performance etc...
If anything will prepare him for a good result in Italy it will be the time spent wringing the neck of the WRC2 car and the possibility that may transfer into speed in the top league.
