Maybe he will be gravel crew?

There is every chance that Sordo was booked to do the recce in case there was any issue around Loeb being able to compete.

Bring Sordo up to drive the entry. He speak French as well, so could try to do it with Elena. Better than not running the car.

For sure not strange to me because first it's still possible he's driving the (WRC-)car in 2020, he's after-all a tarmac-specialist and if Mikkelsen is not there anymore why not. Second he has a lot of experience as a driver, so his eyes (on the recce) are extra, maybe he's seeing something and share it with the other drivers. Sounds to me as a bonus. They can compare the notes for example.
Three he can step in last-minute if Neuville, Loeb or Mikkelsen suddenly won't start because of something.
