Neuville slides wide and rips a wheel off in SS3 - despite his "demotion" to the 2nd team for this event and the opportunity to "concentrate on his driving and getting his mojo back" it looks like he is still trying too hard.

Kevin Abbring also in difficulties in the same stage - car stopped with bonnet up, not sure if he is retired or not yet.

Sordo and Paddon in the main team both going reasonably well, currently occupying 6th and 7th places respectively.

Neuville started day two under supr rally rules, got a couple of fastest stage times and rose to 36th place overall, before binning it big time and blocking the stage for following cars resulting in the rally leader dropping 30 seconds and the lead to Kris Meeke.  It would be nice to see Meeke, who was a Colin McRae protégé win the UK round on the 20 year anniversary of Colin's historic RAC win and world title.

Sordo and Paddon remain in 6th and 7th respectively.

And he's damaged his roll  cage so no more restarts for this event.
Strange.  He really looked the goods in the early days of the team.
Lately it's like he's trying too hard.
Tore a wheel of yesterday and now this.

I do too. But he's been relegated to the B team for the last few events, replaced by Paddon.  Which is fine because he's a Kiwi and I also think he's got the potential to go further.
