Dakar 2014 result

[bjd7326]

Does anyone else feel saddened by the team orders that made Peterhansel pull over to let Roma through to win as per Eurosport last night..

i thought they had been told to stop racing by the team, then the next day Peterhansel over took Roma ?

[RumpleFugly]

They had.

But on the final stage Peterhansel pulled over for 5 minutes to let Nani pass for the win.

That really soured the result in my mind. Bit of a joke. After everything that they've gone through in the previous 12 days to have it end like that must be gutting.

I can see Peterhansel moving to a Peugeot or Citroen attempt next year with Sebastian Loeb... (Dreaming)

Yep, what a farce they made of that, if Mini were expecting huge recognition for getting their cars up there on the podium I'm not sure how they didn't realise how tainted everyone will view that result because of them.

Ask Shuey and Barrichello how well that sort of ste goes down with the spectators/fans.
