Loeb Wins Rally Portugal

Sebastian Loeb comes within two points of leader Marcus Grunholm with his win this weekend at Rally Portugal.  This quote is from motorsports.com.
On the final leg of five stages, Loeb won two specials, including the short 2.03km superspecial final stage. The Frenchman did not have to push too hard in his Citroen C4 as he held a lead of over 40 seconds at the end of leg two yesterday. "It was pretty much a perfect weekend for us," commented Loeb. "My set-up wasn't ideally suited to the terrain during Friday's first loop but we managed to fine-tune the balance and it was much more to my liking after that."
I like Marcus Grunholm. He got off to a good start this year.  I'm afraid he won't have what it takes to defeat Loeb for this year's title.
