Ticket price news?

He doesn't need a reason. He can do it naturally, like in Poland 2009 ;) .

In my mind his crash in Great Orme back in 2011 was some kind of payback to Citroen for showing him the door. And for the rest of the rally he was driving like a grandma. I was extremely disappointed by him.

Except, of course when he won the Power Stage, just to emphasise to Citroen just what he had been doing ;)

I agree he crashed on purpose in Wales but why disappointed with that? Is it better to swallow it and fall back on his knees like for example Sordo?

I was disappointed in the sense that I wanted to see Ogier pushing hard in the stages for victory and fighting with Loeb, JML, Mikko. But he was just driving around like any other 2nd class driver.

@Mintexmemory Thanks for reminding me that, forgot about that detail
