Nasser Al-Attiyah Trades One German Team...


for another...in what must be a blow to BMW's '10 Dakar efforts (if there is to be one) their top driver Nasser Al-Attiyah has defected to VW.  VW looks like the prohibitive favorite to repeat their '09 triumph in '10 as they will field perhaps the most loaded Dakar team (driver wise) ever with '09 Dakar winner de Villiers plus Sainz, Miller and Depping who are also on board for '10.  Anyone looking to make a name for themselves in next years Dakar will have to contend with the best drivers handling the best machines in concert with one another...The Nissans and Robby Gordon will have more than they can handle I fear...
