Please join me in thanking the great, late Aldo Sassi, Mentor to Cadel

Mentors come in many forms, sometimes the most unlikely characters form strong bonds, such as Sassi and Evans.

We owe Aldo a lot. He was the one man who was able to get into Cadels head in a meaningful way. Its not the time or place to speculate on exactly why Evans and Sassi clicked, although I have my suspicions as to why.

Whilst we all celebtrate this great triumph for 12 months and Statues are considered, lets not forget Aldo, sitting up there on a cloud, drinking Vino with Mockridge and Oppy and smiling down on Cadel.
