    Actually this is a stage where many big crashes happened (in 2011 I saw several of them personally and some of them were completely insane).

    Seems that in 2008 the average speed was 122 km/h, in 2009 106 km/h, in 2010 97 km/h, in 2011 119 km/h, in 2012 121 km/h and in 2013 87 km/h. So number-wise there's nothing to fix. Assuming the fastest runs were on dry tarmac, I don't consider that dangerous. But yeah, seems like it has been the fastest stage of the rally many years.
