Camp was abuzz tonight as Asprihanal took the days honours with 79 miles – 2 laps or so ahead of Madhupran and cutting the gap between him and Srdjan, still in second place and who topped out at 72 miles today, by some 6 miles.
The rain came again today. Fortunately the showers were relatively short-lived. The humidity was very high all day and the forecast is for more of this over the next 4-5 days.
I am still ahead of 2004’s position – by 600 metres
