Loeb fears sweeping and rain

Leader of the World Championship, Sébastien Loeb will logically open the road during the first stage of the Rally from New Zealand. The Citroën driver already warns that he will have the greatest difficulty in competing with his rivals: “There is a lot of dust and gravel in the special stages on the first day. No matter how hard we attack, I already know that we won't make time! The next two days don't look any easier since rain is forecast. If this were confirmed, we would have the greatest difficulty making up for the time lost on the first day? »
