Roma leads, Stephane to 'back off'

EL SALVADOR, Chile - Mini’s Nani Roma finished second during Stage 11 of the 2014 Dakar Rally and increased his overall lead over team mate Stephane Peterhansel to more than five minutes with two stages remaining.

MINI TEAM ORDERS

Roma finished 11 minutes behind stage winner Orlando Terranova.  He crossed the line just over three minutes in front of Peterhansel, pushing his overall margin to 5min32.

Mini’s Nasser al-Attiyah is in third, trailing by 56min01.

Peterhansel's hopes of a 12th Dakar Rally title were crushed when Mini ordered a podium sweep, a decision blasted by organsiers and the champion-elect.

COMA LEADS THE PACK

In the motorcycle class, Marc Coma looks set to win the 2014 race. He won Stage 11 and leads Joan Barreda Bort by 52min36 and is more than two hours ahead of Jordi Viladoms.

Stage 17 (January 17 2014) see competitors race from El Salvador to La Serena to on January 18 in Valparaiso.
