Hopefully we’ll get to see them in 2027 & beyond.

Sordo for Acropolis. Quite surprising considering Mikkelsens performance in Poland compared with Sordos recent ones.

Could be a sign that Mikkelsen is not at Hyundai next year, cause if they were considering him surely they would want to try one more gravel to check if Poland was a one-off?

Alternatively it can be a sign that Hyundai want to play it very safe and be defensive in manu champ now that they got a lead.

Yes, thats a surprise.
Maybe Mikkelsen goes to M-sport?
He's a Redbull atlet?

Looks very much like the end of the road for Mikkelsen and Hyundai, yeah. M-Sport will probably opt for Elfyn in case he becomes available,so Andreas is kinda up in the air. Doubtful RB and Ford foot the bill for 3 paid Pumas.

What if Mikkelsen will get a chance in Chile? Lappi crashed here last year..

It is possible. Sordo also has recent Acropolis experience and he has never been to Chile.

Mikkelsen was there in 2019 but it was probably his weakest rally that year.

In either case he has contract for two more rallies, but those were announced to be CER and Japan.

Maybe Lappi will go to CER, altought he crashed last year.. Mikkelsen was really terrible on Tarmac so far.. It is sad that the car just looks like this and no one can't drive it

Lappi crashed when pushing (CER) and was as bad as Mikkelsen when taking it safe (Japan). So hard pick. He did well in Croatia but that was some time ago.
Similarly Suninen in CER last year was basically same speed as Mikkelsen in Croatia this year.

In short, Hyundai really have a tarmac issue. For manu title is is critical to do something with it.
