Tour Down Under: Stage 6

and final stage!! Cam Meyer hung onto the Ochre Jersey and took his first overall win in a stage race. A thank you will be in the mail to Team Sky for taking the first two places on the stage, keeping Matthew Goss from getting enough seconds to overtake the lead. A party was had in Adelaine by Garmin-Cervelo that evening.
Then the next morning where there was a conference call with the whole of Team Garmin-Cervelo announcing the firing of boo's favorite director sportif, Matt White. FYI for any of those looking for employment at G-C....follow the rules that Sideburns lays out!!

Tour Down Under: Stage 5

Cammy should be wary of the green, glowing worm. He ended up holding onto the ochre jersey, but did loose some of his lead. We'll see what the last stage brings.

Tour Down Under: Stage 4

Holy Argyle Batman!!! Did you see that?!?! This is how a breakaway wins a sprint stage (whisper: you don't let the peloton catch you). Cam Meyer won the stage, is the race leader, the young rider leader and now Garmin-Cervelo is leading the team category. Matty White wishes it could all end today. No worries matey, Camy's got it under control.

Tour Down Under: Stage 3

So, another stage, another winner I've never heard of. Now I know what Frankie would feel like if she ever watched a cycling race. By the way it was Michael Matthews.
And Cavendish was pissed by the end of the stage because they opened the road to public before he finished....I know how to solve that..RIDE FASTER!!!

Tour Down Under: Stage 2

It was a bloody crashtastophy (literally, consider yourself warned when opening links from this page). There were several crashes in the last 3 k's. Some finished worse off then when they started. Lesson one on crashing: don't use your forehead to catch you.
Oh, and the winner was Ben Swift.

Tour Down Under: Stage 1

It's a sprinters stage race, so the winner of the first stage will be a sprinter, and the winner of the whole race will be a sprinter. The peloton is packed with sprinters that will probably be racing in France in July. So the winner is . . . . Matt Goss of HTC-Highroad!! What the what? Who is this?
This is Matt Goss.
The ironic thing is, is that Andre Greipel's was second. Andre used to ride for HTC-Highroad and has had words with Mark Cavendish. So Mark sent Andre's replacement to the front of the peloton to beat Andre. It's Mark's world, we're just living in it.

Oy, Oy, Oy.....

I know everyone has been missing cycling, so here's comments from the opening stage race of the season, the Tour Down Under. How awesome of a sports vacation would that be, sisters? The Aussie Open & the Tour Down Under...one word - drunk!
Anyhoo, back to the race. Astana made a rookie move, they didn't bring radios to the race. So when the team leader (and defending champion) was on the wrong side of a break and didn't know it, the rest of the team was in the front and didn't know the leader didn't make the break. What? Did Johan and Lance take the "How Not to Lose a Bike Race" manual with them when they left? This is not a good sign for Alberto and the Tour de France.
Big George was looking good as Cap't America...he needs a cape.
The RadioShack kits, you can pick them out of a peloton, oh wait if Lance is racing, the camera's always on him....that's how you can pick out the Shackies.
In Europe there are guys in speedos on the side of the race, in the US it's guys with the flag as a cape....in Australia, this. I like it, just don't piss it off.
And Andre Greipel (Columbus) won the first 2 stages and is the race leader. If you were curious.
