    Robbie McEwan - Cycling Australia

    On my Garmin it gets upto 18% just near the top, it's not that bad though. But I guess after 10-16 times, whichever it was they go up it that it would start to hurt.

    Warning to Cycle Tourists coming to Australia for World Championships

    I've been riding around the countryside just outside of Geelong now and I recommend it to anyone who comes out here with their bikes. I've only had one or two close encounters with drivers not giving enough room but other then that have not been yelled at or abused by anybody. It will be...

    Australian Coverage of Cycling...disgraceful

    Back page of the 'highly regarded' Geelong Advertiser today was an article about Evans and his chances written by John Trevorrow. Hopefully this link works, first time trying. It was pretty much full back page with a huge photo of him in yellow...

    Australian Coverage of Cycling...disgraceful

    I'm thinking that there will be more coverage of Cadel if he loses the yellow jersey rather then get it. I'm starting to hear the mistakes from PL and PS a lot lately, all I can do is shake my head and watch on though.
