Our day started at 3am and headed to the start line to drop of the truck drivers then back to hotel to get the riders
We drop Jamie of at 5am
Jamies start time was 6.30
After leaving the start they had to weave through the spectators which lined the streets for around 800 km
The first stage Jamie started 159 place after the first day is is up to 107 position
He came of twice but wasn’t hurt but towards the 600 km mark a bug got caught in his googles and bit him. His face puffed right up and at the end of the 800km stage his went to the medical tent and after some treatment will be fine
The temp has now reached 39 and is getting quite hot
We are now in Santa rosa staying on a large oval
One of the local bike riders Died yesterday he was the same age as jamie
