Stage 2 with zero TV coverage due to weather. Jesus!


Edit : Well, we got the last 30 seconds. Go Aussie! Brett Lancaster gets the win.

That is the same lay out that was used on the TdF last year. Pity this POS work computer has problems with fucking Flash!

I wactched the coverage this morning. Heinrich Haussler had a crach with 30k's to go. I had to leave for work and when i got in i was able to watch the last 3km on the net. Saw Lance go down. And it was good to see a couple of Fly V boys up at front for the sprint finish!

Hahahaha, the replay tells a different story. Wily veteran move by LA of making it look like he was involved & affected by that crash when in actual fact he deliberately wanted to abuse the less than 3km rule. If I was the organiser I would make him take the time penalty. :p
Well I guess it was his team-mate on the deck so he would plead he stopped to render assistance but either way he was slacking.
Don't think LA is anything like his pre-retirement days, I think the TdF is a pipe dream now, much like Schuey winning another F1 World Championship.

Lance went down for real this time. He's out. I hope it's nothing to serious.

O'Grady and Haussler are out also :(

Yeah I heard, possible fractured cheek bone for LA. Well this year is not going to plan for him is it.
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even make the TdF start.

Yeah it's awesome, but wait till the next gen come through then the gen after that.
Some of the kids in clubs locally are phenomonal for their age and some are not even part of the Jayco VIS or AIS jnr squads.... :rolleyes:

This last stage is bloody awesome! Rogers just keeps coming back up the hill. It's great to see all the top guys battle it out on a last day!
