Night-time stage wraps up tough three-stage day

A 15km night race in blustery conditions completed a mammoth three-stage day. Most riders were at the end of their tether. Mauritian mud was the main bugbear and fatigue the other. Fireflies lit up the Ferney valley on Friday night. Headlamps and lights affixed to riders' frames concertinaed in the distance, creating a procession of glowing racers. Timekeepers relied on riders shouting out their race numbers to record their lap times.
