Thats sad , what do these people think they re achieving making the world such a hostile place. Terrorists should be punished to highest degree possible ,The Death sentence is too good for them....

To be honest it's one of the reasons i keep SKY television, at least you get to see something different :oops:. But it's the countries that the rally helps as it goes through that looses out in the end :sad:

Was really looking forward it to, then idealistic idiots spoil it, As said above as well as all of us watching, the compititors etc it is the countries that will take the biggest dent in what revenue that it would have created and obviously the impacted for future vistors and even i suppose future events.

Yes im gutted and really feel for the privateers, cant imagine what it would be like to find out so close to the go.

Also I notice that Eurosport are showing some past footage on Sunday so worth keeping an eye out for some vintage action over the next few days.

Shame......

Looks as if getting to Dakar will be a bit of a problem next year as well.
