Well, that's the only logical reason I can think of. I haven't seen it officially stated anywhere.

Ogier drives for Sardinia. Exactly...
I didn’t get to see Neuville, Meeke and Tänak
How much dust they had in the end ?
Great rally, this. Savour the close battles.
So TGR had a lot of issues not disclosed. Apparently the dampers on meekes car had no fluid at the end of day two. Shocks we're overheating. Brake issues as well so Sardegna will be very interesting. Some sources say the dampers are breaking because they are overheating. When the fluid is boiled away or the shocks are running hot the compression/rebound is comprised hence damper failures....
Note Latvala has been very calm also :)
