If things were difficult enough, Anna has just ridden through the night to make it to the CP in time вЂ“ last year she missed the CP3 cut-off, and she was determined not to let that happen again.ДЄnother rider with a story to tell is Shinichi Chubachi (cap #105). The mechanic worked on his bike far past closing and late into the night and when he had finally finished his work, he would accept no payment.ДЄlso at CP3 is cap #97, Anna Petters, who has a malfunctioning front mech вЂ“ now, she has to change gear a little more manually. Whilst struggling with mechanical issues back in Serbia, Norbert arrived late at a bike shop in desperate need of help with his malfunctioning shifter. This wasnвЂ™t the first time Norbert has been saved by the kindness of a stranger. It was certainly one of the more unusual bivvy spots from TCRNo.7, but at least he wasnвЂ™t out in the rain. Sensing the desperation in NorbertвЂ™s voice, one hotel owner offered to let him sleep in his sauna. Last night in Austria, Norbert Wortberg (cap #91) had successfully bested the Timmelsjoch but was finding it impossible to find a place to spend the night.

Earlier that day on his ascent of the Galibier, David had overtaken more than a few riders вЂ“ nevermind being weighed down by both his luggage and eight full days of fatigue.ДЇor some riders a little further down the pack, things arenвЂ™t going as smoothly. Not far behind him was David Schuster, another rider who has looked impressively strong so far. Yesterday morning, I was actually crying on the phone to my girlfriend.вЂќ вЂњFor me, the low points are never the riding itself but in other things happening outside your control. After a bout of food poisoning he has been consistently unlucky with mechanical problems and the mental fatigue seems to have taken a toll.

Sam, who had held to third place so bravely back in Austria, has suffered badly over the last few days. Later that day, he would be taken to hospital for surgery on his broken leg.ДЄnother rider facing dark moments on Day 10 was Sam Thomas (cap #20). The next morning, on Day 10, Pawel came off his bike whilst riding along a bike path near Grenoble вЂ“ incredible bad luck given that there was no vehicle involved at all. Heartbreakingly for Pawel, his impressive ride at TCRNo.7 would not last much longer. Through the curtain of mist, Sam Thomas rolls in to take 12th place.ДЄlready this race, Pawel had lost two phones and the third one he bought to replace them had already broken вЂ“ although, at CP4, he still had it tucked into his bib shorts. The Plage du Moulin Blanc вЂ“ the sandy beach that had seemed so bright and inviting in yesterdayвЂ™s sun вЂ“ is now as grey as wet concrete. The next morning, on the 13th day of racing, the air over Brest is slick with hanging rain. I just ended up lying down a few times and eventually, youвЂ™re just wasting time. вЂњI tried to go through the night and it didnвЂ™t really work. Ultimately, he wasnвЂ™t sure if his plan succeeded.

Having resisted the temptation to check the GPS trackers for most of the race, Daniel finally cracked during the last few days вЂ“ when he did, he realised a top ten place was in reach and started to ride longer and longer hours. Over the last couple of days, Daniel has been locked in a tight contest with Stephane for the final top ten spot. Because now I know IвЂ™ll want to come back next year, to try and break the top ten.вЂќ

For Daniel, however, the finish feels slightly more bittersweet. This is DanielвЂ™s second TCR and after placing 54th last year, to take 11th in TCRNo.7 is a huge leap up the standings. п»їArriving a couple of hours after Stephane is Daniel Nash. The process of getting them back again вЂ“ which involved phone calls to the police, a foiled lock-picking attempt and the assistance of a bemused passerby вЂ“ sounded like something out of Fawlty Towers.
