06:46 Gordon exits the rally
"Robby Gordon will not finish his twelfth Dakar. Already in difficulty on stage 3, the American got stuck on the first kilometres of yesterday’s special and was eventually forced to give up the race."

Well shit...

If you go to Dakars withdraws list it’s been changed to only Robby but shows him not starting stage 4...? No withdrawals listed for stage 5

Robby finished stage 4. Blade finished stage 4. IMO I don't believe Cole finished stage 4.

I expect to see at least RG & Blade run stage 5 today. Blade is listed to go at 11am/et, will see when RG begins.

Good Morning guys..

From Dakar Page in the news section, they are saying that Robby abandoned the race ... after all the things shared by Kellon and Blade on their social networks, that's not true ... they still on competition.

ASO is looking the way to screw them and get'em out of the race.
