Kopecky still on the list with Ernst as co-driver?

Going to be dusty and smoky. Lots of bushfires around the area. With warm weather it could be an issue.

A WRC2 R5 car took that number (42).

Well... That's Mikkelsen out of Hyundai then...

For sure. Back to Citroen then. Not a bad driver. Glimses now and then.

Hyundai is running Breen because he will get a significantly better starting position on Friday.

Mikkelsen would beat Breen in Australia, whatever startingposition.

That is a very bold statement because nobody can state that for a fact.

Adamo on Catalunya post-event conference:

Q:
Can you tell us your driver line-up for Australia?
AA:
We had Thierry and Nicolas and Dani and Carlos and we have Andreas and Ole down to do the rally. I firmly believe that we should support the team that has supported us all season. The goal is the Manufacturers’ Championship.

Adamo says he makes decisions "immediately". So I don't think he would change his mind about starting positions after 4 days. Something has quite likely changed

Imo two options:

a) Mikkelsen signed for another team and they either don't want him to start (Toyota) or Adamo got pissed about him signing elsewhere and changed to Breen as he is likely to run some events for them next season

b) Mikkelsen said he is not interested in doing 3-4 rallies with Hyundai next season, without actually being signed by someone yet, Adamo got pissed and changed to Breen for same reason as above

Andreas and Ole...? Does he not know Mikkelsen's co driver is Anders Jæger?
