NBC Sports is showing the PD. On Comcast in Marin it's being shown at 2pm for about a week and after that the time of broadcast changes. NBC Sports
is on channels 81 and 723(HD) in Marin. Not sure about other locations.

Robbie Gordon got off 30 minutes late, reason unknown, and is running a slow pace..currently 23rd....Not a good way to start the Dakar...

Not a very good start for the American entries: Robby Gordon, BJ Baldwin or Brenthal. Too bad !!
