Michael Barry’s diary: Good day, bad day
Today was both a good and a bad day - good because Triki and Floyd were in the front group and Triki is now in the leader’s jersey, and bad because we had to battle an incredibly strong headwind for 190km and then our bus broke down as we drove down the mountain toward our next hotel.
