Neuville stated his issue was not caused by the rough roads (on Friday) as all the parts were replaced in service before Saturdays stage.

As for Ogier, the off was the smallest of mistakes that 99/100 you would drive off undamaged in seconds.

Really bad luck for both of them.

I also agree with those saying the rally is not a problem and happy to have it to add to the variety the WRC should provide.
