Also Andreucci's stage times in Ciocco were very disappointing, so most people didn't believe in the combination of Breen and 208 R5 being quick in Greece. Nothing surprising about it. Surprise was that Breen won
No, that isnt fair. Breen was beaten by Bouffier last year in a very similar car, BUT Bouffier had and has a huge amount more experience. Breen set fastest stage times on some events and often lost time through punctures and minor offs, not that much on sheer pace. And it was his very first ERC season on events he was driving for the first time.

And he didnt win an ERC event as they were almost all dominated by Kopecky - a better, far more experienced driver, in the top car (the Skoda which has won for years).

This time it was a more level playing field for Breen with a competitive car, some more experience (although not driven Greece before) and he won fair and square.
