Personally I don’t see a competition for Toyota.
I’m afraid Breen and Lappi will struggle quite a lot with the Hyundai#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

Sadly, if Tänak retires, Rovanpera will probably run over everyone next season. Maybe if Evans can get the season started strong he will find the motivation, but if not, mentaly it will affect him too much if Rovanpera will dominate him from the very start.
Only contender i see is Tänak if by some miracle he goes to Ford and they can fix the reliabilty, because we know the speed is there, despite what everyone here keeps saying. If 48 year old Loeb can show top times then Tänak in his prime can do the same. But it stays a BIG IF in my opinion since my gut says it will be a no Tänak season...
Neuville i dont think will get close to Rovanpera mainly because of his lack of pace on fast gravel and snow, that will already give a huge edge to Rovanpera atleast on 3 rallies.

“It is now clear that our line-up is what we will go with for the season,” said Latvala, referencing Friday morning’s announcement. “But, of course we have been considering that - on [seven] events where we have a fourth car available - we would consider a renting option."
So Katsuta will have 7 events in the main team.

If he has a mathematical chance in the last couple of rounds i would call that in the fight. Didn't say he has a good chance to win. Depends how it goes, if Rovanpera repeats this year then no one is in the fight. If it's something like 2018 I can see him there. He won 2, almost 3 rallies this year and has repeatedly challenged for the title in the past. If you say no way to him you have to say no way to almost all drivers. Maybe you are a fan of someone and you are biased but otherwise it's a bit foolish to write Neuville off in a team built around himself in a car built around himself.
