• There are eight riders still a way off CP3 - well nine actually but #250 a and b Ismali Arkan and Yusuf Akkus will be there in around an hour.

    These are:
    #224 Tina Nestoroska
    #165 Josie Jones
    #Goran Arsovski
    #53 Wiesia Kuczaj
    #188 Daragh Browne
    #227 Christian Ficher
    #174 Hector Outeiral Nunez
    #130 David Coulon

    All appear to be making good and regular progress.

    David Coulon, once again the back marker, a role he fulfills so well, covered 186km yesterday in just over 10 hours. He left before 07:00. Today he set off a little later at around 10:00. I hope this was simply because he wanted to sleep a little longer.

    Wiesia in comparison rode for almost 13 hours yesterday and covered 197 km. She has already ridden 100 km today. Really good progress. Her longer time on the bike shows why she and those around her are opening a gap over David. At the same time, she appears to be resting sufficiently and so progressing in a sustainable manner.

    The others in that group are riding at similar paces. They all appear to have settled into some form of rhythm. It would be really nice fif all of these riders made it. As they pass the scratch points of other riders, they move gradulally up the leader board. Now all bar David are on page 4 of 6. They will probably all end up on page three.
