Loeb braced for a rough ride in Sweden

CITROEN’S Sebastien Loeb admits he faces a tough task to claim victory in his 100th world rally event in Sweden this weekend.

The Frenchman clinched a record-breaking fifth win in Monte Carlo in the season-opener last time out, but is expecting a tougher assignment when he brings up his ton in Scandinavia, where local drivers traditionally shine.

“My 100th start is a nice round figure, but it’s not that important to me,” said the reigning four-time world champion.
