P.S. JML, listen to that old wise man!

Carlos looks emotional at around 5 minutes. Nice emotions indeed.

it is easier to crash like this in the early part of a stage in bad condition. trying to understand the grip level, having no rythm and so on..

it is same issue all over the world in all rallies. in these conditions there is proper "first intervention vehicles", ambulances and fire turcks. cancelation of last RMC stages are because of traffic jam caused by the spectator recovery incident.

It's part of the game and it has always been part of the game. It doesn't mater if it's usual terrible weather in Argentina or too few access roads in France, or people hidden in wineyards on dangerous places in Alsace or anything else. These are circumstances which make some events more difficult to organize.

I can only correct you on the number of stages cancelled in Portugal last year. Three stages were actually cancelled, the second loop on Friday (event organisers had in mind what happened in 2001). Why do I remember it perfectly? It's better to suffer cancellations sitting on a sofa than waiting for the cars at a stage :( .

Yeah, it looks like they masked by the sentence something they don't want to reveal.
