I cracked last night. Went to bed at midnight. Wasn't worth it though since I woke up at 4am and couldnt get back to sleep for ages.

For the 2nd year in a row it is all coming down to the last time trial *bites nails*. Saturday can't come fast enough...

Time trial effort bit disappointing, there was way too much pressure on Cadel though throughout the tour being the favorite, after a crash and all

Still, great tour, and he's got a few more years in him to win it

Bloody CSC, almost unfair really the team they had, 3 national champions etc..

yes, the final result saddened me too :(
(thanks for the update texts Lynt, you rock!)

Cadel still had gains in this years Tour by winning the yellow and holding it for a few days. Now it is up to his team to get him so proper wingmen!

:scr1pt:

A little disappointing. Cadel rarely (if ever) attacked the main field in the climb or even when in a chase group, which is where CSC were so strong. Smashing everyone in their way. Sastre deserves everything he gets, champion.

Heard rumours that Cadel partied last night and did his leg in, Olympic hopes may be in doubt. We'll see, though.

Till next year, get some sleep everyone!

I interviewed his grandma today. Also a solid old bird.
