The Legends Boucles rally around the Belgian town of Bastogne has ended prematurely following a fatal accident involving a spectator. The incident occurred on the Bonnerue stage, the second stage of Sunday and the tenth stage of the rally, with Thibaud Mazuin behind the wheel. Despite the rapid response of the emergency services on site, the accident sadly proved fatal.

Jos Verstappen and his co-driver Renaud Jamoul had recovered to ninth place in the overall classification on the first day of the Legend Boucles 2026 after an early setback. The duo competed in the historic event in a BMW M3 E30 in the Legend category.

They finished the first stage on Sunday, Les Herdiers d’Ardenne, in eighth place, maintaining ninth position overall. The tenth stage was subsequently stopped, and the remaining three stages were cancelled, marking a tragic end to the Legends Boucles rally.

Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the spectator, as well as with everyone affected by this tragic incident.
