Complete story from the talks around:
1. Ogier got an offer from Citroen after germany 2017 and Matton said he really wanted him
2. Supposedly the offer was not very high + no big commitment announced from manufacturer + Linda Jackson said in some interview that their focus was maximum PR for a given amount of money.
3. Ogier refused the offer, in his interview this year he says it was also about the team leadership (and manu commitment) and that he always had good relations with engineers. I read this as him saying he does not have best relations with Matton (which is perfectly understandable)
If Linda Jackson really wanted Ogier so much then she could have done any of the following:
a) put in more money in his salary
b) promise more resources for the team/development
c) kick Matton (this kind of happened, but seemingly a bit later)
=> Does not look like she really wanted him at that point
This year:
4. Meeke got kicked, in Budar's words as a "joint" decision with the leadership. (sounded very much like they forced him to do it)
5. Ogier joins and Linda Jackson gives massive praise to how important is it to have Ogier and good atmosphere in team in an interview just 50 mins ago.
=> Either Linda is just doing PR and it was mainly Budar's pressure that got Ogier (my opinion) or she changed her mind at some point.

Do you think canceling stage because of crowds is right?
Punishing so many spectators because of some misbehaving individuals or groups is not right.
Don't they have police in Spain? Army?
Organizers should be prepared for those kind of situations.
Yes, it cost money, but if they can't pay, better close the stage for public in advance.
Neuville doesn't really have a reason to push anymore. he can't catch ogier or tanak on speed, and katsuta and sordo can't catch him.
