I think he's very good, although in his Hyundai part time driver-days he seemed to fade on Saturdays and Sundays. We will see this year exactly how good he is.
Dirtfish is very much leading the Breen hypetrain as they usually do with some drivers, and I don't really get how they rate him higher than Tänak and Neuville this year. Yes Hyundai is on the backfoot and have to make gains quickly but still.

It's 10years since Craig was swrc champion and before that a wrc academy champion I think people don't know or tend to forget he was. That was a season where he beat Hayden paddon and per Gunnar Anderson to the title. Yes he is lacking experience of some future rallys but with good results comes confidence to push that little bit harder and further I think he has potential to push for the title but needs a string of strong composed results to push on and challenge for the title and with full support from msport and I'm sure Malcolm pushing him to go for it he could be a dark horse for this year

I'm kinda worried about how easily he was beaten by an old and almost unprepared loeb.
I understand he hasn't done monte for a few years, but still.

I think Breen will flourish, and grab his number one status in the team.
Loeb and Monte is a special case, so would not read everything into one rally.
Even if Loeb is an amazing driver, the first rally of the rally1 cars is special, and the two other teams will catch up. But so far it looks like that Ford is the best on asphalt.
Lets see how they all compare in Sweden, amd first gravel rally, before we make hard assessments.

Solid if unspectacular start for Breen.
Sweden is a good event for him - one where he maybe felt before the start of the season that he could target his first win on. However another podium would be good too. I can only see Evans, Kalle and Breen potential winners there, considering Hyundai are a bit behind. So if he can get a good setup he could be on for another solid result.
I'm not sure he can fight this year for the title (sure the target is next year), but churning out podiums in the first 2 or 3 events is a good way to start. And hopefully more speed shown in Sweden than in Monte

Since neither Leob nor Ogier will start in Sweden, Breen should start first? He has not showed that much pace when cleaning before, has he?

My advice is to consider editing your post. You are pretty identifiable in a very public forum and if your current employer has internet police they may find this interesting. Of course, ignore me if...
