Cadel looks good in black and red but will look a whole lot better riding through Paris in Yellow.
I have been following Cadel's efforts on and off since his mountain biking days. He was a world champ then and has now conquered the ultimate 'mountain' in cycling.
He has hinted next year might be his last Tour, I am so glad he took it out this year.
It is also true he did not do it alone and I am sure he will acknowledge all thos who have helped him, not the least Big George.
I resisted staying up so late last night (done that too many times already during the mountain stages) and have just got off the Tour site after rejoicing at the good news.
I am taking my wife and 3 kids to the park later today for a bike ride - teaching our 5yr old daughter to ride at last solo (without training wheels) she came up with the idea after watching the Tour website with me.
Well done to Cadel and the other aussies (without taking anything away from all the riders nearly 3500kms in 21 days!!!) Special mention to Johnny Hoogerland too after getting 30odd stiches in his legs after being put into a barb wire fence by a car!!
