      <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>

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>
