I want a "Gordini".

Outstanding Stage 1 performance by Robby. Fun checking in on the live data stream from the checkpoints througout the day (linked above). A long way to go, but this year's inclusion of Ironman stages should favor Gordon.

He has the Frankenstein, I mean Gordini, the team, talent and backing to become the first American to win overall, but it's a long way to the finish.

Daily updates start tomorrow on NBCSports.
