Good work fella. Makes me proud to be an Aussie. The no root tonight cause I'm riding tomorrow rings sadly true!
 
This is great!

"You've been hanging with that team car for the last ten minutes bro, time to do some pedalling."

I like when he's trying to impress the chick with his KOTM's cap that he got on stage 19 off Richard Virenque.

And he don't look like Bobby Julich. He looks like Andreas Kloden! Splitting image in some of the shots. I noticed that he was riding with the Astana boys too (3:49) :)

Sounds like he was having a few altercations with some Warney types too ;)

Classic.

"I ride you more than I ride my girlfriend"

"Sorry, I gotta ride in the morning" (that one would have been tough to stick with)

"Roll through"
"We're never going to catch them"
To which the reply is
"I'm on the rivet, man. I'm stuffed!" (often before pulling out a massive sprint)

Durian Rider and his hot girlfriend are so obviously talented that they deserve a wider audience. I suggest SBS gives Gabriel Gate the flick and puts them on to do the cooking segment during the TDF coverage. Vegan recipes of course. There would need to be some beach volleyball style dress regulations in the contract but judging from the video that shouldn't be a problem ...

He was on one of the morning shows a couple of months ago

Relax. I've got this. Having watched Black Water, The Reef, Crocodile Dundee, The Simpsons' Australia episode, a bunch of episodes of The Crocodile Hunter, and tons of commercials for the Outback Steakhouse, I am pretty much an expert on Australia.

The number one thing to say to get aussie cyclists to accept you as one of their mates is, "Foster's. It's Australian for beer."

Aussie cyclists might have a laugh if you said this as it does contain certain inaccuracies. For one calling that cat's **** "beer" could be an overstatement. Hardly anyone in Australia drinks it and since Fosters was taken over by (Anglo South African brewer) SAB Miller last year it has ceased being Australian.

No way, mate. TV has instructed me in the fine art of how to speak Australian, and I have been assured that Foster's is Australian for beer. U.S. TV ads do not lie.
