Did a search looking for a Cadel Evans TDF thread so I thought I better start one.

He the man just a massive result.

A good w.e. for Cadel and Casey . What did Webber get up to?

[Curly3]

Webber got blown off to the first corner again and it was all over, again.
He finished third.
Don't forget we smashed the Bok's in the Rugga.

*The Wallabies were almost good enough to be called great. A bit more fine tuning and we might just bring home a World Cup.
*Cadel Evans ride was calculated and well paced. His team mates worked well to get him plenty of open space. A good win.
*Stoner also good....I didn't watch even though it was at my favourite track, Laguna Seca. I forgot.
*Webber...more of the same. My jury is still out on whether he's champion material.
*My beloved Rabbitoes are shot ducks. There's always next year.

I reckon Webber was undone by the team strategists. Not bought in early enough for the 3rd pit and a slow 2nd pit put him behind the 8 ball. Nothing wrong with his speed or driving. Vettel seemed to have smooth pits though

Watched a bit of the news and got pissed with bloody politicians hitching their wagon to Cadel Evens' star. Effing parasites. Did they dedicate their life (and quite possibly their health) to that mans dream.

Kudos to Evens, let him savour his victory in what is quite possibly the hardest sporting event in the world.

Also congrats to Casey. Pulled a Rossi on Pedrosa on the corkscrew. RESPECT!

I don't recall seeing either of them being off the track or any dust flying just a very good clean pass. Casey really showed he wants the title this year

[TooFastTim]

OK, OK, Stoner had the brains to stay on the track. Still did an outside/inside pass on the Pedrosa on the corkscrew though.

Cadel Evans, what an outstanding Australian and role model for our kids.

You have now officially reached legend status.

Firko, the Bunnies aren't shoot ducks !! Their rabbits and they have a dose of mixo with a hit of calessie virus just to make sure.

What about that stirring version of Advance Australia Fare by Tina ?

Go the Wallabies, com'n the word cup.

[Curly3]

Totally agree Curly, Tina's rendition was the best I've ever heard.
We should get her back home for the World Cup coz we're building up to something big I reckon.

[mx250]

They are very optimistic bunnies at the mo - they play the Dragons this weekemd and they reckon they are still a chance

Oh dear, it must be Alzheimer's Curly . Australia fare is either Rabbit stew or the cost of a ticket on a rickety boat out of Indonesia .

It kills me to read those words Curly, especially from someone who lives within the sound of Redfern Ovals PA system, but you're right. Never has a team been hit with so many injuries hang in there for so long but eventually they had to fall in a shitheap and Sunday was the day. Relying on Chrissy Sandow every week was never going to work.

Tina Arena certainly did do a good job with the anthem. She's a bit of a cult figure in France so picking her was a great choice. While I'm in awe of Cadels amazing ride, it hasn't hit me with the gusto the hype would suggest. I get a bigger rush every time we beat New Zealand at anything.

or Firko - we look forward to Collingwood winning anotehr GF!
