Jesus, WRC.com finally release a story that says absolutely nothing about anyone else being involved.
Had a guy on Twitter suggesting that I should wait for Official News before speculating, but what's the point when the official release is so massively far behind what we already know and have seen live on tv?

The injured is a spectator that was filming with a mobile

Crazy.. WRC.com not even mentioning a spectator involved. Still saying reason just a car blocking the road.
I am almost 100 percent sure the event will be cancelled now... : (
RMC's bad safety finally came back to bite their asses.
No, they wont. Such things have happened before and it is just mentioned.Quote:

Honestly, I'm still convinced this is just a unfortunate fall from a bad placed spectator, but once it's not totally clear how it happened no one should be saying for sure that the spectator was hitted by the car.
If the wrong people (general media) also jump into that kind of fast impression that could be pretty damaging for the sport.
Not at the first stage, first rally, live on TV it hasn't...Quote:

Rally organisers confirm a 10-minute delay to the start of SS2. Ogier's new time: 2307hrs. First eight cars - at least - will run at 3-minute intervals. A decision on the gaps between the cars following will be made later.
Yes, on each year RMC we can see 1 to 3 "nearly hit" video's , more than on most events , so if this happen sooner or later it was predictable.Quote:

Glad to hear Tommeke_B is alright. Knew he wouldnīt be stupid to stand at that point. Now WRC-radio says 10 min delay on SS2.
3min gaps? I wonder what was the reason for that...Quote:

Read that earlier, irresponsible "journalism".
If ambulans was on start line it takes 20mins...Quote:

Paddon must be devastated. I guess he's not going to continue.
NO, it's just an illusion, the person is already up and rolling...Quote:

Are you really worrying about that? Anyway, if you put any value to that still, that will be corrected.Quote:
