Loeb gearing up for Swedish scrap with Gronholm

SEBASTIEN LOEB is predicting a flat-out scrap with world championship rival Marcus Gronholm in a snowy Swedish Rally this weekend.

Loeb has a score to settle with Gronholm, after the Ford star won round one in Monte Carlo to take an early world championship lead.

Loeb could finish only second after a five-minute penalty for crashing on day one but is determined to make up for that this weekend, when he claims he is the underdog.
