Stage 3 cancelled. FFS spectators!
good job, awful fans
Michelle ruin this sport!:mad:
should use some p*pper spray on those mor*ns..
Yeah, Loeb poised to go up.
such a shame, it would have been very interesting stage
Tyre strategy now has changed completely and the guys who were betting for slippery conditions are now quite screwed...
There'll be a lot of heavy braking during this liaison section where those with studs on are trying to wear them down.
Am on SS5 and already getting told to move back despite there being a huge ditch between me and the road (and the bank being 1m up from the road). Needs a bit of give and take IMO...Quote:

Rather watch the action from a tiny bit back than freezing your bollocks off only to get it cancelled
everybody still standing there and not moving to next stage
Have you considered the possibility that the situation is really dangerous? I prefer cancelling a stage where spectators are really placed dangerous than to have a bad accident with spectators...Quote:

What is actually positive is that ACM finally seem to take safety more seriously.
why would they? this is monte, moving stage to stage is very difficultQuote:

There are certain events, Monte is one of them, where an arsey woman telling a bunch of testosterone fuelled guys having a macho cuture to do something is bound to make co-operation difficult. Maybe a new FIA Safety Co-ordinator is required?Quote:

Suck a dick, spectators. Suck a dick.
Because some of those people have been spectating here for 30 years, know perfectly good places to stand and arrive 4-5 hours before the stages to be there (tell me another sport with fans doing this) only to be told to move for some blanket 20m rule with no context applied.Quote:

With only two stages tomorrow it could be a disaster.
now when rallies are so short anyway, every cancellation is even worse
This stage was new...standing there for 30 years is safe yes.
we have here people that standing in safe position and that safety crews told him to move to 'safe' spot. C'mon they already there! And that cancelled 'too fast' Sweden stage in 2017 told a lot to what safety approach they take. Go 50m of a road or stage will be cancelled. It's not right at all.Quote:

Not to mention for the marshals, the volunteers, the coc, and everybody at the service park who could have slept 1 more hour this morning.
...and the sponsors.
There should be a court where the economic consequences can be settled against the retards who don't comply. That'd get people listening.
Him and Desbrough really need binning. The rest do a good job.Quote:

One plus with more stages and stage kilometres is that people would be more evenly divided between stages. But these idiots keep shortening rallies and this way the stages will get more and more overcrowded what will eventually lead to cancelling stages.
Part of the problem. Spectators may think they are in a safe place, and they may well be, but arguing the toss and staying put is futile.Quote:

Spectators should just comply, rather than ruining the stage for fans watching at home, drivers, team crews, TV crews, and for themselves.
There are clearly some members of this forum who have never stood on the side of a road or experienced Mouton's intransigence. In most locations 20m is either impossible or unnecessary. There is never any thought about trajectory or paths - just 'back 20 m'!
This is what you get when you don't arrange super specials, the normal stages get overcrowdedQuote:

Except they were asked to move 20 m back, not to relocate and all of us who have been to the Monte know full well that fans stand in the stupidest of places every bloody year and the fact that more people haven't been killed is a miracle.Quote:

Have you been at a rally? this pretty much happens in every rally.Quote:

it seems Ott didnt get it that the stage is cancelled.
