Neuville looks fast and aggressive on the tests. Without problems of car, driver or tyres I am sure he has the speed to win this rally.
Any tests of Rossetti or Proton planned?

Proton was testing this weekend - in New Caledonia :)
Herbold tested today in Luxemburg, Wevers Sport and Skoda Motorsport with Kopecky and Mikkelsen in Belgium. That were probably the last tests because recce is coming now. Rossetti has not so much budget so testing was probably impossible.

Patrik Sandell's reasons for not doing Ypres -“Given that we've had two quite disappointing rallies in a row there’s a pressure on us now to start delivering,” explained Sandell. “So we have to look closely at the upcoming events and focus on the ones where we think we are most competitive. We simply have to favour results rather than learning. It is not optimal, but that’s the reality.”
It's a pity this has happened but I understand it a bit that he did it. Ypres is just in the mid of seasons where some drivers evaluate their program and sometimes they changed it and can't start in Ypres because of obvious reasons :( .
Btw I liked the article a lot from Autosport.cz about the priority list. I hope Pluto can ask Bryan about his Fia A and get a reasonable answer!
Good, honest quote from Sandell. I think points would have been difficult for him in Ypres. I do expect him to be much closer to the front on the gravel....
Good luck to Melissa Debackere :bounce: I'll "follow" her results quite tight :D
Why u not come Tom? Or do u live in the south of France?
