Officials have been forced to cancel stage five of the World Rally Championship opener in Monte Carlo due to a spectator medical issue.
Before crews were able to start the 16.68km Saint-Leger-les-Melezes/La Batie-Neuve stage, officials announced there would be a delay to the start due to a spectator issue. Minutes later a call was made to cancel the test to allow medical crews to provide assistance to a spectator.
The field will now head to stage six La Breole/Selonnet (18.31km) before returning to Gap for a midday service.
Toyota’s Elfyn Evans has moved into the lead of the rally with a 0.8s margin over Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville, with nine-time Monte Carlo winner Sebastien Ogier in third.
