Again, Philip completed today’s race with relative ease. The liaison was just 56km with the special test lasting 294kms concluding in a liaison of another 276km. It rained for just over two hours while Philip was going over the mountains and visibility was terrible but he managed to pass out aboute 30 riders who had done the same to him yesterday. Then when he got over the mountains it was beautiful blue skies and 40 degrees of Argentinian heat – almost like an Irish Summer really…except the heat of course!! On the major part of the special, the bikes enjoyed lots of blind jumps and a series of fast bends and a lot of rocky terrain indeed. These long liaisons at the end of the special tests are Philip’s pet hates but Brian and Barry followed him over this one today and took some good video footage so they had plenty of fun doing that.  Tomorrow is reputed to be one of the toughest days so far but Philip will revel in the channel of it no doubt. So another day under his belt, look out for updates on tomorrow’s tough course!
