Redlinetech, I agree with you. Nothing to gain by jumping the podium, lots to lose.
TOG, with respect to both you and RG, Michael Jordon cared about winning the NBA Title, not the slam dunk competition. Of course RG can do whatever he wants, but I've seen enough donuts and jumps. Now I just want to see him win the Dakar!

What's happening here? We want to see RG jumping, one, two or three times, doing donuts and everything else. That makes RG special... The stress suspension? Are you joking? This is off road redlinetech. Come on go to the Peterhansel forum is better for you!!! Are you a Mini driver?

GAS ON full time RG. Thanks TOG keep going like this!!

Javier, You couldnt be any further from the truth! I am a 100% RG fan, more than TOG is! ( now I said something..should I run?) More than you are. They wouldnt get me in a mini even if it was given to me for free! RG can do ALL that after hes won the Dakar, thats my opinion and iam sticking to it. I know how much stress an Off Road suspension can take, A lot, however RG came close to breaking it a few years back during a Podium Jump ( Over-jumped). Hes broken hubs before, sheared all bolts off. Now that it seems like hes going to run a straight axle thats unlikely going to happen again (hence the reason for the choice) but still. But if hes going to jump pre-rally thats fine with me, it looks for sure spectaculair, it has become a RG signiture move, people expect him to do it anyway, but I hope hes gonna resist the temptation and focus on the WIN!
