    Understand there is talk of a national holiday ...

    Thanks Ed. He might be a poorly spoken arrogant and cocky little twit, be he IS an Aussie so we'll claim the victory anyway ;)

    We don't get too much exposure to Cadel outside of the races, so I'll take your word for his attitude. I'll say he was an absolute BEAST this year in the tour. Charging up mountain after mountain, bridging the gap after bike trouble. They guy just never got tired...

    Yes a very gutsy effort from Cadel. Have enjoyed the late nights watching the Tour. Will enjoy watching the roll into Paris tonight..

    I haven't missed much of this years Tour. Great to see Cadel ride so well. All he needs to do is stay upright tonight and he'll mae history for the Aussies. Go you good thing :)

    Love watching the tour but sick of waking up on the lounge around midnight after falling asleep watching. Cadel's win made the pain worthwhile. :D

    It was great to see Cadel finally win after being the brides maid for the last couple of years.
