Eric V is only a few minutes out of 20th place. If he has a good day tomorrow, he should easily move into the top 20 overall.

The penalty only "exists" next to Robby's name under the "Stage" section of the Standings page for Stage 8. It was not put next to his name on the "Overall" section of the Standings page for Stage 8 and has not appeared on the "Overall" section of the Standings page for Stage 9. If that time was added, then it is still part of his total time.

Interesting tidbit...I went and added up Robby's times through all 9 stages and the Overall time listed above for stage 9 (and the Overall time listed on dakar.com after Stage 8) do not reflect the 15 minute penalty. The only place the penalty is listed is on the "Stage" section of the Standings page for Stage 8. Maybe Robby is appealing the time penalty and the ASO didn't add it to the Overall time yet?
