I'm also considering that Ogier has more experience of winning and thus better handling of pressure. All season, Neuville has been chasing Ogier, but now it's the first time he's also being chased (as much as he's chasing Ogier), it's psyhologically a new situation for him, but nothing new for Ogier.

But in any case, an exciting rally ahead, again.
They are going to chase each other only. I don't expect them to fight for the win. The stakes are too high now for both of them.
Since Portugal, Neuville is driving conservatively, and that seams to pays off.
