You can't go around the fact that Mikkelsen is champion because Eurosport wanted to be nice for organisations of Scotland and Cyprus. Without the coëfficient system Mikkelsens title chances were hopeless 3 rallies before the end of the championship...

I read that as the guy did what he had to do when it mattered, surely the defining aspect of a champ. Everyone knew the rules in advance, probably one of the reasons that AM did the Italian gravel championship, which he also won. The phrase we use in the UK is that Hanninen and Kopecky 'bottled it'.
