Bad news for Dakar fans....

Apparently this years event has been cancelled due to direct threats from Al Queda.

I hate the idea of giving in to these terrorists or any terrorists for that matter, from what I understand the insurers, couple of the major teams and sponsors have backed out causing the event to fall apart. It's a sad day.

Welcome to 4 hours ago
J/k, there's already a thread about this. IIRC the concensus was to blame it on the french for caving, something like that
