Mikkelsen great time
^^^This. Need a few more stages before we can start reading much into tonights results, tyres have such a bearing that we need at least a full loop of stages.Quote:

Both swedes were really slow... Actually the WRC 2 field was very spread out.Quote:

Has Dumas crashed? No times for him anywhere...
Yup. Mikkelsen mentioned it. "I caught a Porsche and drove behind it, but he went off the road so..."Quote:

My schoolboy French not that great but am I right in saying the key points of that article suggest that it's a Spanish photographer who was airlifted to Nice Hospital with life threatening injuries?
Seems to be a lot of disinformation around though, some reports saying Belgian who's dead, others say Portuguese etc. etc.

Rumours appear to be true. RIP.

Not surprised sadly.
Now remains only to establish if he was hit by the car or if he fell down the hill/had a heart attack as suggested.Quote:

It was struck by the rear of the Hyundai and thrown against the barrier. Is it hard to understand?Quote:

Our spot for SS2.

Obviously condolences to the family of the spectator. Ridiculous place to stand/squat. A good reminder for everyone. Biggest emotion really is feeling for Hayden and John and they shouldn't have been put in this position.
And in any case the team and officials will have to wait for the results of an official investigation before making public statements about the details. Have to be more certain in an official capacity than some guy saying what he thinks on an internet forum.Quote:

Hope Hayden and John don't take it too hard as well.
To look at the positive; great to see 4 different manufacturers in the top 4 so far, excited to see how things will be after more miles are covered

After what had been a great time on stage 2, I'm gutted to read the spectator passed away :(
Rip
My advice would be don't even bother watching the footage closely when you get the chance then. I couldn't spot what had happened but once you notice it, it's very bad. Sad for all involved.Quote:

lefebre is just a waste of time.
Not a good way to start the morning but it would have been miracle if he survived, the impact was massive :(
