I have had some very late nights sitting up. I find I invariably tape the tour and listen to the results then don't watch the recorded program..

Not sure if you would hear the playing card on the spokes over all the cheering not to mention the yelling and the beer and wine breath being directed at the riders as they go past. So many of the spectators get dangerously close to the riders.

I am really want Cadel to win this tour and I am spending some late nights cheering for him.



This photo is with the jersey that he wore at the previous years tour. I was lucky enough to get it for the wall at my gym. He called in so I took a photo to prove it was a genuine jersey - authenticate it..

Man what a great place this forum is.
Obviously someone told Cadel about putting the cards on the forks, the bike sounded like an old BEEZA and the field thought.........".jeez that bloke Cadel is unbeatable now its like he's on a motorbike !!"

Whoa great to see Cadel achieve his win at the Tour. From here on it is a ride into Paris. The big sprinters - Cavendish - and friends will be moving into position for the sprints.

The tour leader at this point will not be challenged.

He is a great ambassador for Australia and motor sport. Having a collection of neat cars. He purchased a '66 Mustang off me about five years ago and still has it.

He may end up with a GT40 after climbing all over mine this year.

A fantastic effort! I wonder if Contador's B sample is also positive will he be stripped of his last win? If so Cadel may have two Tours?

And a wicked ride by Stoner this morning, started 2nd and went straight back to 3rd, passed Pedroza and chased down Lorenzo. Absolutely blew past Lorenzo and rode off into the sunset with around 12 laps to go.
After struggling with setup earlier this week (and last) he really got it all to work in the last 2/3 rds of the race.

Evans was 26th last year (horror Tour for him). Andy Schleck was 2nd in 2010

I misheard a radio report then. Cadel has had two seconds I gather. I do seem to recall the broken elbow as well. Was that last year? I'm sure you are right. I hope Contador is fully investigated this time. There have been too many rumours.
