Day 2 started with a ten km cycle down the second steepest road ive ever seen; the steepest being the one we cycled up yesterday. got 61.3km/h, could have hit 70 but my light fell off and I had to stop and walk back up 100 meters to get it. knowles did 66.7 km/h!

we then cycled round a corner and it happened again. autobahn. or at least its french counterpart. we turned round and found a wee road that hairpin after hairpin made its way into monaco.
