[Mirek]

Just realized the course of the Turini stage. Interesting variant, reversed 2010 IRC version. This time without snow though

Giordano/Suarez incident at 0,45min

That's hardly intentional from Suarez

Better performance by Lappi today.

I' m sorry to say this, but IMHO JML just shows lack of balls saying that he "was informed" that he hit a spectator instead to admit what we everybody knows that he exactly knows he hit the guy and broke the FIA rules on pourpose becouse he knew that the guy is unhurt.Attachment 857

In life we've all had something happen and you're left in a situation of - "okay, what is the likelihood I can get away with this?" And I think Latvala probably thought he had a solid argument that might get him out of the blame. I think if that video hadn't surfaced showing the guy get flung then Latvala wouldn't have had an issue. It's just not great PR to see that sort of thing happening, even at slow speed, especially in 2016 where that video will go viral across social media.

If he had balls he'd turn around and fire back at the ACM about crowd safety - and the fact he's been put in that situation.

That's a poor argument. He hit a spectator, didn't have the decency to stop for a few secs to check. He mowed the guy down and drove on. You can't say "Oh, the guy shouldn't have been there (which certainly he and the others shouldn't have been) it wasn't my fault so why should I stop". It happened and he didn't seem to care if the guy had 2 broken legs or worse. That's the point. Hit and run.

yes good pace when Evans and the 48 years old Kremer cruises for finish.

Not arguing with what you're saying - and at no point did I say Latvala did the right thing. There is however still an argument to be had about spectator safety on this event.

Power stage on live, Desborough sounds to be a bit ill, may talk less.....
