Obviously you are turning things around. Based on Ogier's behavior with Loeb around this year I'd say:
a) he feels he has nothing to prove against "current" drivers
b) he still feels he has something to prove against Loeb
=> Beating Loeb in anything is more worth for him. But Ogier does not look like interested in driving for 10 titles.
But, surprisingly, he can't change past and he can't make Loeb younger when fighting with him now.
-----------------------------------
Also, while catchy 1-line lolz are fun it's not like Ogier left Citroen as a beaten dog, he had same number of wins in his last season there as Loeb. Even with all the "priority" driver arguments and issues including the famous "technical issues" and "deliberate" crashing in GB. Also as some Ogier fans point you, it's even possible to say that Loeb left after 2012 cause he was afraid of Ogier coming in VW.
I am not a very big of either and find it very hard to compare them. If anything i rate Loeb higher because of he improved from 2002 to 2004.Just trying to understand Ogier's motivation.

Problem is that most of current Rally2 manufacturers (or at least half of them) is not interested in factory teams or to be in the highest class of rallysport. They are customers oriented... And this...
