Another great win for Meeke, but would he be able to be first without Loix's bad luck?

Maybe but it wasn't so much bad luck for Loix as driving error, he went off the road and broke a rim. Felt under pressure from Meeke perhaps? Loix admitted that it was his own fault.

What a great rally! Also great you can follow the results on the radio (that is typical in Belgium), so we didn't miss a thing on the stages...
Awesome result of Meeke, he can put himself next to others like Toivonen and Rosetti, who won with there first start at Ypres. This result of Meeke can be very high rated! Batle until the end. Pitty Jan Kopecky slowed down because of concentration problems because of the accident and because he lost time behind Vouilloz (2x).
