I think he's just having a bad year and isn't as fast or competitive as many thought he was. When he was over looked by Makinen it was made out like he was a nailed on future champion by some. He needs to step up because Neuville is winning this championship in the same car and Sordo is having a good season too.
(note that this was after he tested the I20 on gravel)

Also he walked into the I20 and immediately led after first gravel day of Spain, so he told the truth.
