Yeah, seems like only something personal would lead into this change.
In 1995 Auriol exchanged Occelli for Giraudet like a day before Tour de Corse started and Occelli's career basically ended there.
I also think Sordo/Del Barrio split was quite weird...Hyundai doesn't pay co-drivers well enough? (although I think drivers often pay their co-drivers)

Strange to change so late, can only be a problem not a plan surely....
As for who pays the co-drivers, I know in the past drivers used to pay them, but I’m not sure these days. If I were the manufacture, I would want to employ them so I had control of who was doing what...

Neuville says that ''he is going to start Monte with Martijn Wydaeghe ''
does that means that he is not a permanent co driver and that maybe we have another change too?

Nicolas only changed his avatar in Facebook to 2021 Hyundai suit 3 hours ago. This was decided today, and i think it was one sided

btw, the new cars will use R5 engines. where current R5s get their engine? from the production base car and then they tune the engines for racing? what new engines the current Polos (privateers) are...
