    like him or not (i personally dont), i remember Evans being only one time wrong recent times and that was last year when he said Tänak rejected Toyotas offer.

    He was the first to report in the end of 2015 that Tänak is dropped from M-sport and to join Dmack team. Even m-sport laughed at the news in twitter at that time but in the end it was true.

    Couldn’t agree anymore. I guess he just gets a load of people believing him and not knowing any better. I’ve got a feeling he won’t be involved with WRC next year anyway.

    Let's keep in mind that the KT is primarily about Colin Clark the WRC media person giving the fans something to chatter about - not Colin Clark the individual telling everything he knows about what's happening behind the scenes in WRC.

    Ah, it's time for more David Evans bashing. And then, when it turns out to be officially announced, posters here forget it was he who broke the news first and claim silly things like 'it was obvious'.

    He may have allegedly said something about Tanak previously, but you don't go with such a straight heading on the front cover if you don't know something we don't.

    Secondly, the digital edition isn't available quite yet so let's read the full story too before casting aspersions.

    Get in there early? Because I'm sure every team wants a piece of the Rovenpera pie

    Anyways, imho nonsense choice for Toyota. Happy for Meeke who is a nice guy but I can't find a valuable reason on taking him into the squad.

    Could be that these guys have been told less this year than before. In addition to Clark saying Meeke won't go to Toyota just hours before news of an alledged deal break, Becs claimed to the last minute that news of Ogier going to Citroen wouldn't be announced that day.

    Anybody with some connections in the rally world, on a local or international level, knows that often you get some news but you are supposed to not spread it. So even journalist don't always tell the complete truth, I'm sure they often know more then they tell and know it earlier too.

    Yeah but why would they contradict the information they have? Becs often tweets something like "something is happening today" or Clark will say "I think he's going to Toyota, that's just my personal view". Or maybe they're doing it on purpose now?
