Countdown to Dakar 2015

The kickoff of the 2015 motorsports season starts 01/04 with 665 competitors from 53 nations, 414 vehicles and 3.9 million spectators . Daily updates shown on NBCSports, live streaming updates on their site. Good luck Robby, should improve last year's result with the new testing program.

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.
