And none of them wouldn’t have finished
And they did drive very slowly or you are saying they were fast?

RAC rally 1997: Burns took 60 s from Colin in a foggy stage. It´s just about bravery and good pacenotes. Men should be men.
Having said that, I´m aware of the difference today compared to RAC in the 90´s, but still. Rallying demands real men.
Regarding the salting of the road in SS2, could it be to allow emergency vehicles to get through the stage? Like a few years ago in Monza where the outright canceled a stage for this reason.
That would seem somewhat justifiable. Better than cancelling the stage because ambulances can't get down it, although the rally cars can.
But, if so, I wonder why they didn't salt the end, which (I think, anyone confirm?) was at altitude and would expect worse conditions.
I wonder if all those who says that adaption is key, if anyone would seriously been hurt or even die, what would their opinion BE. It's also risk and what could happen that needs to be considered running those kind of stages in those conditions.
Rich Millener is a very sympathetic man.
After what Neuville said and views from the onboards, if there'd been a bad crash the Organisers would be in big trouble.
