What is really interesting here is that he even mentions Meeke and Paddon, but no word about Suninen.
EDiT: Most notably since Neuville has historically been at odds with Paddon. So what does he have against Suninen? I agree those 3 are better choice than Suninen, but Meeke and Paddon not so sure. Meeke lack reliability and Paddon isn't really on same level as in 2018 (yet?), but has Hyundai backing.
The higher the likelihood of a larger field, the lower the likelihood of the top guys being there. And that has nothing to do with the top guys running scared.
