Matton is actually defending both Meeke's SS crash (by saying the stage was bad) and also subsequent slow speed on Friday.
This part was interesting:
This is the only place it is mentioned in the whole article why his place for Catalunya might be in danger. Not a single word about what happened before and caused the first benching. Instead unless you followed the season closely you get the idea that the benching alone caused him to loose form afterwards.Citroen benched the Northern Irishman for Rally Poland at the end of June and he has subsequently struggled to replicate the form that helped him win Rally Mexico and dominate in Corsica earlier in the season.
Not hard to see why people talk about british jurno bias.Last edited by mknight; 23rd August 2017 at 18:48.

Like he ever wanted to have a strong field. His most titles came when he haven't got so much direct competition. Kalle and Tanak break that, then he starts compete only "half" programmes. Then...
