Jonah wins stage 5!!!  Great day today, Jonah took 15 minutes out of Coma's lead, and now stands 27 minutes behind first place, still in second overall.  The team is excited, but it's a long race, and we have a job to do..  We'll save our celebrating for later.

 

An amazing part of this race is the crowds.  Every town the race has been through has had huge crowds of fans lining the streets.  This morning it took us 45 minutes to go less than ten miles, as the crowds had to part to let us through.  Unbelievable.
