On the video on the main page top center RG is being interviewd and he said he was filing a protest against Peterhansel for running over the motorcyclist is the river. Its gonna be cool to see what happens with that since it was clear on video for all to see.

Yeah I hooted when I saw that. Good, it's about time someone did something about that incident. Pretty shitty and dangerous stunt.

According to the rulebook the only penalty for that is a few hundred Euros. Though a Truck did get excluded from the Rally for a similar incident with a car. Then again the truck pretty much destroyed the rear of the car when he hit it.

was the Italian motorcyclist able to continue the race after his bike was submerged?

I believe he was but then dropped out either later in the stage or in the following stage.

 

EDIT: Actually he's still in the Rally 52nd in class 15:05:59 back.

I take it you didn't read the last sentence?

yeah, I am not giving that any front page play.

got me right to the end

Here is where I went to let the Mini people know what I thought of Peterbansel hitting the motorbiker

I emailed them, hopefully others do too. Maybe post that link on all the racing forums around the internet

just sent my email also......

****suggest being civil but asking "whattup" with all the whining, hitting the biker etc....told them that thier driver does not represent the company very well......

I mentioned the Fiat 500 being more attractive after DAKAR

And it's Italian...
