He will not go to any championship, he will miss Monte, he has not a full year contract and honestly, even if I think he is the best of all time, he's not at the same level he was 10 years ago.

Any development on the i20 for 19, that might give Andreas back the good feeling?

if not;
Pay him out of his contract, so he can go to be lead at Ford.
Even if he has contracted full seson for Hyundai!

Loeb cannot beat Neuville on most rounds because he will not drive most rounds , Loeb will do 3-4 rounds max

Being overrun by the team/ex F1 engineer has been an issue i understand.

Colin Clark must be giggling his ass off by the people who mocked him on here the other day with Loeb actually going to Hyundai now it seems.

How are you so sure that his contract is for 3-4 rounds max? I thought they were releasing details tomorrow?>

He doesn´t need to beat Neuville. It´s not that kind of contract. I´d rather say he´s the one who will help TN get the title if possible. The others in Huyndai didn´t make it.

3-4 rounds is an estimate (my estimate) , he has said it so many times that he will not come back full time.

Do you really think, if he has a sniff of victory, he will roll over and let Neuville win? I just can't see it happening. I think they have hired him to let him do his thing, which is winning.

Yeah, I get that, and I appreciate I might be living in hope, but I just think things will have changed in his mind now he's dropping ten (is it ten?) RX rounds... and because of the feeling he got when he won again. I guess we'll see tomorrow.

So i can imagine it will go something like this at hyundai this year. Paddon huttenen in wrc2 pro keep paddon match fit and step him back up to full wrc program 2020. Neuville full season. Loeb in for mikkelson on tarmac rounds leaving loeb neuville sordo. Thats a strong tarmac lineup. And sordo/loeb to alternate some gravel events ones sordo isnt so strong on. And possibly sweden
