Dakar rally - getting a bit tense for VW?

[andygo]

Just watched the Dakar coverage. Carlos doesn't seem to impressed with his team mate Al- Attiyah holding him up for mile after mile. Can't say I blame Carlos. Al-Attiyah was ignoring his sentinel and wouldn't let Carlos past. Dodgy geezer.

I expect Carlos to bury him tomorrow as Attiyah starts fourth.

Fingers crossed, although Sainz is sweeping the roads so may not be quite as quick as the later cars.

I expect VW will instigate some team orders after today, possibly even before today's stage, to avoid them taking any silly risks. A 1, 2, 3 for VW is more important than which of the drivers gets the individual honours.
