We had two crashes during the test.
But since the rider wasn’t injured — we’ll take it as a win.

The main team is heading north from southern France, aiming for Paris.
They should arrive by tomorrow evening.

As for me, I drove 600km south alone across the Eurasian continent,
and have now returned to Spain.
The scenery near the border crossing is breathtaking —
it leaves you with a feeling that’s hard to put into words.

The photo:
The madame at my usual inn — where I stayed again for the first time in a while —
gave me this gift, saying, “I bought this in Tahiti, just for you!”
And as always, the morning coffee she brews is absolutely delicious.
