Why Sordo had to step aside for Ogier
After his stunning Portugal win, Sebastien Ogier is being promoted from Citroen Junior to the works squad - while Dani Sordo moves in the other direction, at least for now. David Evans explains why
AUTOSPORT probably should introduced a new section on the world's finest motorsport website. We should call it, 'News we saw coming a hundred miles away.' Not the snappiest of titles, admittedly. But it would give us somewhere to shove the Sebastien Ogier steps up to the works Citroen Total World Rally Team copy.
It could sit in there and keep the 'Sebastien Loeb confident for - fill in the blank - rally here' stories company.
