Miller gained 1:30 on De Villiers. Miller finishes ahead of De Villiers, he starts in front of him tomorrow. So when they close up, De Villiers gets the "close in" on time.

Can Robby be satisfied and waiting on 324

I can't imagine that. Now if he is broke and waiting on 324, that makes sense. But otherwise there is no reason to step off that much, time wise.

i would guess Novitsky is going for the stage win, hopefully Robby's 'just cruisin'.

Maybe whomever did the tracking at 386KM wasn't paying attention and RG came thru too early..

Thats racing ! I am a realist and am just hoping RG's hummer holds together and he maintains his 3rd place overall standing.

And Robby probably thinks the same way! He's got 4 hours he can give up, he's just driving....nothing to gain today, lots to lose.

Driving like my grandma I don't think thats it. I think he broke down or track is F'd up.

what a heartbreak would that be. So close to a podium and then to have an issue.

Absolutely

Absolutely while a stage win would be great, it serves no purpose as the "race" is decided. The goal now has got to be podium.
