The drizzly rain at Francorchamps was the main reason that Peltier couldn’t repeat his victory of Nivelles; Martin took the lead and never looked back, while Peltier had to let Semoulin past in the rain, as well as the incredibly fast Escort of Doetsch, but when the rain stopped he could car the German who had spun.
