A really bad decision for them based on where they were in the race at the time. Even though they weren't at the front of the pack, they were still comfortably ahead of most of the teams. Even if everything on their new itinerary had gone as scheduled, they were still going to be 2 hours behind the first flight into Lisbon.
The gamble didn't really improve their chances of winning the leg, but significantly increased their chances of losing the leg before they even got a chance to do anything.
