I would be cautious with that: in Sweden, anyway Breen will start in 1st position if things stay like this. Then, in Croatia, the road position has no real interest; but then, there is a series of gravel rallies and each position earned could be good.
So at this stage of the season, I’m not sure the interest is relevant if you add all the potential impacts.

Ogier always took the maximum points for the Ch'ship despite any other factors...

Forgot Lindholm also even if, for him, I would more say he is a good prospect which is also good on tarmac (but true for Rossel also even if the French is more tarmac-centered).

So who has the right choice for ss 13?
Loeb took 2 with studs,while Ogier 2 snow
Both have and 4 soft slicks

OK, there probably can't be as much carnage on this run since there are fewer drivers available. Right?

Right?

SS13: Live!

Rovanperä is underway in Saint-Geniez / Thoard. There's still plenty of ice in the middle of the stage, so be prepared for more drama...

Hard to say. One thing to remember is that their stock of available tyres is getting low (Breen using used ones to save his stock). Normally, they would also be saving for tomorrow's Power Stage, too.

I hope they secured the strut top with more than the cable ties shown!!

Again a pity
We know this rally profile does not suit but he was doing the job and even taking manufacturer points to Hyundai, still he could take a little point (at least manufacturer against Tanak or Solberg) if he succeeds in coming back to the road
