Well it's obvious for him to do the South American rounds and Mexico, and Australia is logistically also wise. Sardegna probably suits his expertise of rough events but Wales is an oddball, both in the style of the event and the level of competition and entries.
The problem is that they don't make the decision soon enough, or even have it in the plan before the race. The guy behind who's just come out on fresh tyres & is 2 seconds a lap faster needs the call...
What oother options do Hyundai have, if Tanak will really leave for Toyota? Will they hire again Mikkelsen, Lappi, Sordo? Or reach out for WRC2 field? Or even stay only with two cars?
