    Quesnel promised Ogier parity, Loeb objected. Quesnel was 're-instructed' from on high (and replaced by Loeb-placating Matton at the end of the season). Citroen told Ogier he would not be permitted to challenge Loeb and ensured that he couldn't by 'turning down the wick' for Spain. Subsequently when Citroen wanted Ogier running interference against the Hirvonen threat in Wales, Ogier inexplicably crashed his DS3 within the 1st Km of SS1 (Great Orme). Re-starting on Super Rally, Ogier then proceded to score a number of fastest stage times and won the PS.

    'Revanche' is a very real concept in the gallic psyche.
