[satukata]

it will restart with ogier once the safety delegate is clear of the stage

[Tauri_J]

they red flagged the stage because Fia safety delecate had not cleared the stage

lmao

what an idiots

[EstWRC]

WRCcom news: The stage 2 was red flagged as the FIA safety delegate had not cleared the stage. It will restart with Sebastien Ogier once the safety delegate is clear of the test. Thierry Neuville will receive a notional time.

ARE YOU FOR REAL????

man i cant believe this

[Doon]

Isn’t driving the stage in the wrong direction a big no-no under any circumstances?

[tc10a]

dont tell me the others now will start the stage while Neuville can cruise it and then get a nominal time afterwards?

What else should they do - two options cancel or let the others drive and give neuville a nominal time.
Cancelling for sure the worse option.

[satukata]

really sorry for rally chile. not good for the future!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier wont be happy sweeping the long stage.

[Tarmop]

Probably there will be more, as Ogier an Citroen and FIA are all French...

How can they possible decide what time to give him? It's laughable. These Muppets have fucked up here, terrible communication of they didn't know the safety delegate hadn't gone through yet

Having a nominal time is always a bad thing indeed, hard to be fair. But to say it will favour Neuville, I'm not so sure. Before the "all-live era", the stage would have been cancelled completely, to give a clear signal to all spectators...
