Verschueren has to win this one to stay in the fight for the title. Princen already won 2 rallies and had a 2nd place in Spa, where Verschueren did not start. Although only the best 6 results count towards the championship, this rally is an ideal opportunity for Verschueren to take back a bunch of point.
His main rivals should be Cherain (if he is back at his old form), Fernémont (lot of confidence after his Spa victory but lacks experience) and Bouche (but he has no rythme and is getting older.
Other contenders for top 5 will be Bedoret, De Mevius (needs to find his confidence back after crashing in Spa and Corsica PET), Canal-Robles with the Fabia WRC etc.

Your predictions were very good. Verschueren wins the rally, Cherain is second and Fernémont third
This time it's 1-2-3-4-5 for Skoda

It was a nice event. Good battle in front, all in equal machinery, apart from the tyres they were using. Verschueren on Michelin, Cherain on DMack and Fernémont on Pirelli. In the wet this morning, Fernémont managed to set all fastest times. Few photos from the event:

And what happened to De Mevius?

And what happened to De Mevius?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-09_635WjnI Went off. By seeing the number of crashes, and the way they happen, I'm not so sure he's ready for what he is trying to do (fight with quickest R5 drivers). It wouldn't be surprising if they stop the program after Ypres, if he doesn't set a great result there.

it's that time of year again, where i start sniffing through this forum trying to work out which of the local guys are going to be doing Ypres this year. Entry last year was a bit special, so fingers crossed for one nearly as good this year. Veiby is a nice addition and glad to see Neuville back - any word on Abbring after last year? I saw Demaerschalk is supposedly entering a new C3 R5; fingers crossed they send another driver to promote it too.

Would be good if Basso and Cronin would be back too, but I won't count on either chicken until they hatch.

Bouffier should come, Abbring also should be there, in Fiesta this time.
