none until we see him go thru the next cp. I am hoping that everything is okay and he just waited for hummer # 2

It's not like he started 5 min behind the Dubs and has a realistic chance to move up without other people's troubles. Why throw away 12 stages of hard work and a possible podium to win a stage that, to begin with, isn't particularly suited to the Hummer?

Exactly. With the VW's playing prevent defense, why should Robby bust his balls to win the stage and possibly end up breaking the Hummer and throwing away a podium finish?
