Courtesy Google Translate:
"Come to light the first images of the new truck of Robby Gordon. With this new unit, the U.S. run the Dakar 2014 and will abandon the spectacular Hummer wearing using several years. Robby's team sold units of this model, going to stop any of them to Saudi Arabia at the hands of Yazeed Al-Rajhi.

Gordon a few weeks ahead of the sale of the Hummer, which participate with a new unit, much like the Super Stadium Trucks using championship created by himself.

Looking at the pictures, we can see that the new American pilot unit is very similar to that used Chevrolet Eric Vigouroux and BJ Baldwinen the next edition of the Dakar. It is not confirmed that this truck, the unit of Robby Gordon, but the color of the wheels of the trailer gives us many clues, as the orange color is similar to the equipment and the Hummer he used, so that suggests that it may be his."

Wait so the color of the wheels on the trailer tells them it's a Robby Gordon creation destine for Dakar and is similar to the Chevy of Eric and BJ. These head waxer yo-yo's are lost. Probably all singing Kumbaya around the desk in honor of figuring out what RG is bringing to the table ......Lost
