Jan Kopecký’s second stage victory is set to be nullified after Geko Ypres Rally organisers took the decision to cancel the 11.32-kilometre Dikkebus stage for safety reasons due to excessive numbers of spectators lining the route.
Hot weather and a bulging entry have attracted huge numbers of fans to the Intercontinental Rally Challenge event in northwest Belgium.
Thierry Neuville was the last of three drivers to complete the run in his Team Peugeot Belgium-Luxembourg 207 Super 2000 with the third fastest time.
A decision on whether the remaining runners will be awarded notional times or if the stage will be culled has yet to be taken.
