Sordo just doesn't drive the rallies where he isn't fast. In Argentina and Turkey this year it was him that was the slowest Hyundai still.
If true it's interesting decision making as Breen was slower than Mikkelsen in both outings this year and in GB crashed from behind Mikkelsen... and as a reward he gets to drive a rally where he crashed the last two years.
Could also be an indicator that Mikkelsen already signed elsewhere.
