I can not think of any better reason for a public holiday than a "Cadel " day

I 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.

UN.BE.LIEVABLE.

What an epic ride. Cadel, you've got a fan for life!

That did it, seeing him on the stage and now i am crying. Fantastic day for the whole country.

It's a pity that the significance of this will be lost on so many Australians.

Damn 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

Cadel missed the Syndey Olympics MTB Gold with a broken collarbone. He was a shoe-in.

Now maybe next is London 2012 Gold :?:

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.

Just awesome- best sporting moment for me by far

Can't remember the last time I had a beer at home alone, it's going down very nicely. Going to really enjoy tomorrow night's jaunt into Paris.

No idea how I'm going to get to sleep tonight.

Good excuse to shop for BMC gear tomorrow just in time for Monday's commute.
