2011 Tour de FranceRe: 2011 Tour de FranceFirst Australian to take the Maillot jaune home and he's a mountain biker ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: 2011 Tour de FranceI can not think of any better reason for a public holiday than a "Cadel " day
Re: 2011 Tour de FranceI know some don't agree, but his team played a big part in this. He arrived at the final ITT mentally and physically fresher than ever before, the whole environment has been great for Cadel.

Re: 2011 Tour de FranceIt's a pity that the significance of this will be lost on so many Australians.
Re: 2011 Tour de FranceDamn right Chuck. Those blokes died for Cadel.

+1 the results today bear it out. I thought 57 sec was too much. In the end it wasn't nearly enough for the schlecks he tore 2 1/2 minutes out of them
Re: 2011 Tour de FranceCadel missed the Syndey Olympics MTB Gold with a broken collarbone. He was a shoe-in.
Now maybe next is London 2012 Gold Last edited by il padrone on Sun Jul 24, 2011 1:33 am, edited 1 time in total.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: 2011 Tour de France
His team did a magnificent job considering the riders they have, no real pure climbers they were there when he needed them. BMC showed OML what could have been. We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works (Douglas Adams)
Re: 2011 Tour de France
Yep. Andrew
Re: 2011 Tour de FranceGoodnight all, get out there and enjoy your Sunday rides, & stay safe.
