Raliul Paris-dakar

[Salex]

Ascult (si ma uit) la Realitatea o stire de ultima ora conform careia Raliul Paris - Dakar a fost ANULAT anul acesta din cauza amenintarilor teroriste. Pacat, era un eveniment auto traditional de inceput de an ...

 

Cu ani buni in urma a fost scurtat, parca Cape Town era punctul terminus, acum s-a anulat cu totul

[Engine]

It's just the begining.

Baietii cu turbane isi dau seama ca e destul de greu sa penetreze obiective urbane bine securizate si astfel se vor adresa din ce in ce mai des evenimentelor pancontinentale.

Din pacate, fiul unui prieten a investit un an, material si in pregatire, pentru prima participare la categoria moto.

 

Ulterior: Doar serviciile secrete franceze puteau sugera o asemenea decizie, sa anulezi o competitie sportiva din cauza ca tu nu esti in stare sa-l obligi pe dusman sa respecte sportul. Decizia aceasta este o actiune mai terorista decat ce face o banda de beduini, adica sa semeni teroare si atunci cand aceasta nu s-a declansat, inca. In privinta aceasta ii admir pe rusi, ei nu dau atentie teroristilor, le dau rachete pe fereastra, nu ca fatalaii de la UE, care au interzis focul de artificii din Bruxelles, ca au vazut ei vreo 3 ciuhapi cu rucsace in spate rataciti prin oras.

Lisbon, Friday the 4th of January 2008

A.S.O. cancels the 2008 edition of the Dakar rally

 

After different exchanges with the French government - in particular the Ministry for Foreign Affairs - , and based on their firm recommendations, the organisers of the Dakar have taken the decision to cancel the 2008 edition of the rally, scheduled from the 5th to the 20th of January between Lisbon and Senegal?s capital.

 

Based on the current international political tension and the murder of four French tourists last 24th of December linked to a branch of Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, but also and mainly the direct threats launched directly against the race by terrorist organisations, no other decision but the cancellation of the sporting event could be taken by A.S.O.

 

A.S.O.?s first responsibility is to guarantee the safety of all: that of the populations in the countries visited, of the amateur and professional competitors, of the technical assistance personnel, of the journalists, partners and rally collaborators. A.S.O. therefore reaffirms that the choice of security is not, has never been and will never be a subject of compromise at the heart of the Dakar rally.

 

A.S.O. condemns the terrorist menace that annihilates a year of hard work, engagement and passion for all the participants and the different actors of the world?s biggest off-road rally. Aware of the huge frustration, especially in Portugal, Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal, and beyond the general disappointment and the huge economical consequences in terms of direct and indirect repercussions for the countries visited, A.S.O. will continue to defend the major values of great sporting events and will carry on its engagement for a durable development through the Actions Dakar, started 5 years ago in sub-Saharan Africa with SOS Sahel International.

 

The Dakar is a symbol and nothing can destroy symbols. The cancellation of the 2008 edition does not endanger the future of the Dakar. To offer, for 2009 a new adventure to all the off-road rally passionate is a challenge that A.S.O. will take on in the months to come, faithful to its engagement and its passion for sports.

Oarecum fftopic: . Dau cei de pe Eurosport o retrospectiva a raliului asta seara (e partea 2a) de la 23.00 - dintre anii 1986 -1992 .

[Salex]

Pai ... anul asta probabil ca asta ne va ramine, sa ne uitam la retrospective !

Eu sunt total de acord cu Tolin. Fatalaii din UE au oprit si metroul de revelion in Bxl, nu doar artificiile. Iar politia in loc sa ia la palme pe teroristi o faceau pe desteptii in statiile de metrou cu betivanii de-alde mine care voiau sa ajunga acasa. Fatalaii din Spania isi schimba optiunea electorala (indiferent ca era buna sau proasta) in urma terorismului... etc. Singurii care fac nota discordanta sunt englezii, care nici nu s-au lasat intimidati si nici nu s-au folosit de asta ca sa dea vina unii pe altii in campania electorala.

 

Despre Paris-Dakkar se zvoneste ca-l vor muta in America de Sud. Paris-La Paz, cine stie

 

Si un banc:

 

I: Care-i primul oras african strabatut de raliul paris-dakkar?

R: Marseille

Ca mi-am adus aminte, ce mai face Legiunea Straina ? Campionate de barbut viteza, de halbere si de coniac-canoe ?

Ati prins ultimele stiri legate de Dakar? Cica editia de la anul se va tine ... in America de Sud

[tolin]

De ce, n-a ajuns mana lunga a terorismului pana acolo sau vrem sa fie fortata sa ajunga ? Astept editia care se va desfasura pe Luna.
