Loix still leads in damp Ypres

Skoda driver Freddy Loix edged further away from the field on Saturday's first loop of Ypres Rally stages, stretching his lead over Guy Wilks to 46.9 seconds after SS9. In damp conditions this morning, most chose intermediate tyres, but Wilks and his Peugeot UK team gambled on cut slicks. Although this looked wise as Wilks finally interrupted Loix's run of stage wins on SS7, the Briton was only 0.4s faster than his Belgian rival - who then resumed his run of fastest times on the next two tests
