Well I'm still at work and checking in but I'd like to know if anybody else knows if Robbie is still running or if they called it for the night

With the heavy fog, I wonder if stage was called and they are on highway

Per the Dakar Website: The car / SxS / truck special has been halted at CP3 for safety reasons. Fog has made the end of the stage too hazardous and the competitors will therefore finish the stage after 425 km.
