Realistically, assuming nothing goes wrong with the VWs or the Hummer, will Robby be able to close up in the next stage to within hailing distance of whooping their time?

Third overall in the Dakar, as an independent owner/driver, etc. etc. is so totally awesome that I'll take it :)

No chance in hell....none.

Has there been a single stage yet where VWs didn't finish ahead of RG?

Does anyone know where Nani Roma finished? He was in 4th today and was just ahead of Robby. I know Robby beat him, but I would like to know by how much??? He isn't listed in any results I have seen today.

He ran the last 80kms without a clutch and lost about 45 minutes (according to Robby). If you don't think he has the top two VWs worried... well they'd be fools not to be.
