Still don't think Stephane should have had his time given back - but it's happened before - and will probably happen again. For that, I can't congratulate him. But, it's the ASO, they do what they want.

OK
I was wrong, they did´t give any team orders. Happy for that.
Maybe next year Seb!
Shame... Loeb really deserved the victory.
A French Revolution!
Dakar is not about speed.
The organisers decided to award the victory to peterhansel, no surprise there.
maybe next year.
Peter Versluis crashed into Martin Macík behind the finish (intentionally?). There was some heated argument afterwards...

The thing is that Versluis was furious that Macík didn't let him pass while Macík said he had another three trucks in front of him which he wanted to pass himself.
Heat of the moment stuff. Hope they cool down and make friends. That's the spirit of the Dakar!
