Rally Legend appears to have been an indicator for something at least.
A shame, Paul's reactions are priceless. Hope he finds another ride to continue his career and that the person alongside Kris is a good fit.

Probably the gap would not have been as big as it was at the start of 2017, but ok, that doesn't matter now. Interestingly the same could apply for Meeke as well - not to the same extent, but I wouldn't be surprised if Meeke himself had some ring rust to shake off during the first rallies of 2019.
And just to make it clear, it wasn't the point to compare Juho and Kris directly against each other.
I know, but it still would have been Juho's last season, and half of it would have been settling in for maybe a podium pace, like 2017. Had he continued to 2018, he could have kept that pace already from the start of the season. But it's if's and but's all over. Juho lost a lot of chances on his career before this as well.
