Dakar Rally Cancelled

Paranoid Europeans IMO. It's more likely that somebody would get killed during the actual race than get murdered along the way.


Oh wait, that's the wrong answer... I meant to say: "Mauritania = Zim 2.0"
It's not paranoia if it actually happened. They didn't imagine the 4 deaths - or perhaps because they are Europeans you feel less for them??
 
So Saturday morning i got up at 04:00 ready to watch the start of what I watch every year as clock work on the 05th of January. AND IT WAS CANCELLED !!!!!!

/CRY !!!!!!!!!

I always wondered what sort of people actually watch that... :D

They're paranoid because they think that if 4 people get killed it's dangerous to go into the entire country.

Yeah, but all the crews have to travel and stay in hotels, eat in restuarants, etc. Just like those 4 people were doing there. So that is most likely the concern, not the race route per say.

Pity it came to this. I thought the rally was kind of a maverick thing where everyone understood the risks and were willing to take them on. Guess not. :(

My sentiments exactly.
 
I guess it will be up to you BC to take your bike out and complete the race for Pitbull! ;)

The desert is already a challenge, I'm sure they don't need to dodge bullets or land mines as well.
