So yeah, I'm not surprised that Ogier want to drive as much as possible this year.
I wouldn't write Rovanperä off, he had a better Monte than last year, opened the road in Mexico and Sweden and had a puncture in Croatia (were he was fastest on the second and third day). Even if is close at the moment and I might like someone else as champion I'd put my money on Rovanperä.
