re; the photos

I'll post the m in the other thread in a few mins, they didnt turn out to good :-[

Wow, McEwen again! Superb start for him and the Lotto-Adecco team this season. Wonder if he can beat the top-sprinters when the "real racing" starts in a couple of months?

Remember he did win in Paris a couple of years ago ;D he'll do ok i'm sure

There's just not enough cycling on TV. Channel 7? Channel 10 are screening a highlights package for TDU shortly but there was nothing better than SBS coverage last year and the year before.

If 80000 people can show up at night to watch then cycling must be alive and well in Australia. I also understand that big crowds between 20000 and 40000 watched various stages.

Maybe the promoters of TDU who have done a great job could have a re-think on the television side of things.

Mind you there was only 30,000 at the cricket and we had to put up with 8 hours of that [censored] >🙁

Yeah. I'm tipping Mick Rogers to win the GC. McEwen should take out the final stage though, I reckon.

Obviously I need to get my tips in before Grates gets here.
