Both made really good performances - why to fight here who did better? They delivered what they could delivered - they fighted for podiums when big guns like Loeb, Ogier, Tänak and Neuville were out. They were not out and took the opportunity. They were away from fight for the win, so they delivered well for their level.
Only 2 weeks to wait, both are hungry for more

I'm not sure that's even the question, unless you mean just for comparison's sake. But they had different aims. No driver's championship for Sordo, he had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain for Hyundai in this particular fight, with Tanak and Neuville behind him. True, Taka could have taken points off Hyundai, but Toyota had 1-2 anyway. Maybe his more important lesson was how to drive with a calm head to go 3rd in the driver's champ?

I think Fourmaux was a little unlucky, steady first loop on Friday was understandable, was on for quickest time on the 1st stage of the second loop and got a puncture. With only 1 spare he had to drive slow for rest of the loop and that gave him a crap road position from then on, no sense in pushing hard after that, better to get the KM’s.
It was a bad error from many to only take 5 tyres on that second loop on Friday.
I was more disappointed in Breen, have been all season. It can’t help in the team that Loeb comes back in and is leading straight away and he is nowhere.

Yeah, after failing in Sweden, it was clear he would have a bad time between Croatia and Safari considering his level on real tarmac and the fact he didn’t made world-level slow gravel rallies for a while. All the more than his road position is not good with Evans and Tanak having bad results and the shared 3rd car in Hyundai and Toyota.
With a better road position, it should be better in Estonia and Finland. Not that sure about Belgium because a lot of drivers now knows a little better this rallie so it will be harder for him than last year.
For the end of the season, it will depend how much he improves on slow gravel after having missed it so long. Then Catalunya should be hard (don’t know about Japan, it will depend a lot on the weather I think).
Fantastic weekend for the WRC, exactly what the sports need. An unexpected winner, that also shows some personality and emosions, perfect! Its also make one think, what could all the other talents...
