Good to hear that he seems pretty ok after the accident.
Maybe a wake up call for all photographers who thinks they are safe because the have the media-vest.

( A couple minutes before the accident a photographer was standing in the outside of the same corner were Meeke did go off last year (400 m before Solowow), but in Solowow accident i think there was more of a unlucky accident)

Honza was not taking photos there, just going from other spot to his colleague, who was taking photos on the jump.

Seen the crash on instagram, miracle that nothing serious happened to him.

Good SD runs by the Citroens... I'm hoping for a good result here for Ostberg & Meeke.

"Our tests went very well indeed,” reiterated Mads. “The conditions were perfect. We were able to work on the developments of the DS 3 WRC. This morning, we had slightly milder temperatures. There is already some melted snow on the racing line. The weather is changing quickly and gravel is beginning to appear. We have to hope that it gets colder again tomorrow.”

“It will be a new experience for me,” added Kris Meeke. “My aim is to produce the kind of pace you’d expect of a driver competing in his second Rally Sweden. The shakedown went pretty well. So that’s encouraging before the start.”

Excellent SD time by Kubica too... he has looked really fast in testing & will be quick on the stages, but cant see him getting around unscathed...
