It would be especially weird retaining Neuville at the same time as Tanak. I don't see any of them settling with role of no.2 in this stage of their careers, and it could create some pretty toxic environment around the service park.:-D

I know no estonian will like the news, but whether we like it or not will not make it less true.
Welp, will be interesting. At least nobody has to worry about Tänak/Toyota domination for years :D
What a time for the story to break for Tanak, mid-rally and on the cusp of the Championship.
If true, it will be entertaining to watch - and is likely to put Neuville's nose out of joint. Adamo's brief is to make Hyundai win; signing Tanak would be a major step for this.
Sounds quite incredible. But then again Loeb signing for Hyundai last year also sounded incredible.
If it's true I do see Ogier moving to Toyota and MSport staying as they are.
As mentioned the Tanak-Neuville-Adamo combination might be a recipe for huge explosion.
So Citroen will just pull the plug, just like that? didn't Abu-Dhabi Racing say at some point in the past: 'see you in 2020'?
The timing would have been really strange if there was a big fight. But with Ogier's issues it's (almost) decided. So releasing it after Ogier hits the issues is not so bad. Though yes, waiting until the end of the rally would be better.
Then again maybe Evans is afraid it won't get much attention if Tanak is crowned champion after the rally and all news are full of it.
