It's not the first time they do this. Sometimes all WRC2(Pro) is omitted completely.
The way I see it, the shakedown thing is just a bonus, you can't complain of something that's free.

"We are motivated, we have to stay calm, we know that this is an extremely important rally because we and Hyundai are in a fight for both titles, there is no need for this at this stage, for example to favor the title. It may happen during the rally, our main goal is to finish in front of Tanak, we do not have the right to make mistakes, but we never have this right in reality. It has cost us dearly, like in Chile or Turkey, we will give everything until the end, "said TN.
Before adding: "To win here, you have to be really confident with the car, there are a lot of grip changes, the road is often a little hidden too, there are plenty of surprises waiting for us. We did a good job during the reconnaissance, there should not be any big differences between the first three cars because the sweep is less present.It is a mythical event.Fatigue can play an important role because we sleep very little My top 3, Neuville in the lead, Ogier and Tanak not far away.

Out on the shakedown this morning.
Hyundai cars looked to be struggling a bit compared to the others, looked a bit lazy..
Meeke looked great, clearly quickest visually.
Tanak just cruising, Im sure he will be quick tomorrow.
Evans looked good on return.
Tidemand noticeably more hesitant than other WRC guys.
Rovanpera driving very well by me.
Paddon still adapting back to R5, needs to ring the neck of it more, not rely on torque like he would in a WRC. Bogged down by us by being in too high a gear.
Still they could have showed stagecamera (they had at least two at stage end) and interviews.
