Even if Neuville still believes in the championship, he was 40 seconds behind Kalle, he was hardly going to finish in front. And if he did finish in front, he'd take what, 2 points away from the gap?
The only shame is some missed testing Kms.

Well, instead of gaining any points or not losing more than maybe a few, now he is going to lose a remarkable amount of points. If Kalle finishes 5th he is going to take another 8 points more. From power stage, I think they might take about the same amount so probably not that much difference.
But if he believes the fight for championship is over, then it doesn't matter. The lost kms matter for next season though. Personally I rhink Neuville hasn't given up so that mistake was another blow for his quest.
Katsuta with possible cooling damage now. Awful rally for Toyota.
Puncture for Fourmaux
May help Kalle to catch him (Kalle cut the gap by half in this one)
Looks like Sordo has heat exhaustion
Another good time by Breen and no mistakes. This is more like it.
