      <description><![CDATA[The Monster Energy X-raid Team may look back on an extremely successful 2013 Dakar Rally. The MINI ALL4 Racing ran perfectly throughout the event.

First of all Stéphane Peterhansel: the Frenchman won ‘only’ two stages but while his rivals made mistakes, Peterhansel pursued his proven strategy: keep your cool, avoid making mistakes and push only where you can make perfect use of the ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/monster-energy-x-raid-a-strong-team-with-unique-drivers/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

Frenchman Cyril Despres took his fifth Dakar after finishing 17th in the 14th and last stage of the 2013 edition, won by Chilean Francisco &quot;Chaleco&quot; López, which puts him on par with Cyril Neveu in the race's palmarès and just one win away from Stéphane Peterhansel's record.

Every racing driver wants to win but there are moments when the team enjoys the top priority. A fact Nani Roma also is aware of and therefore, he and his French navigator Michel Périn opted for deliberately dropping behind Stéphane Peterhansel, in the 13th stage, from Copiapo to La Serena. So, the overall leader would have had the chance of relying on fast and professional help if it ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/terranova-takes-his-bmw-x3-cc-to-third-position-in-stage-13/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>
