[hfer07]

it was lovely- endless congratulations to Evans- the rightful TDF winner.
hope he comes back later on the season-perhaps for Lombardy

Cadel what a champion totally deserved that win, this is one of the best days in my life as a cycling fan. Great to see the friendship between gilbert and evans, it kinda hints that gilbert is going to BMC.

Bring on la vuelta!

 

[The Hitch]

Now this bald moron says Cadel is a different type of TDF winner because he rides more than the Tour.

Umm werent 3 of the last 4 winners named Alberto Contador?

Serously what this guy says is a crime to cycling

Did Evans not mention ACF during his speech?

No he didn't, but he gave the first part of his speech in French.

acf no doubt has sticky fingers atm

DO NOT WANT.

 

[The Hitch]

Ok the Australian national anthem is quite beautiful.

Thanks, Maxiton!

Cadel and his secret wingman: the punisher of rivals

Great ending to a great Tour.

Congrats to Cadel Evans!

Amazing feeling....totallly deserved it. He has chased it for so many years. A well fought victory.

Seeing BMC's group hug was brilliant.

RE: the Flag round the neck, just about every aussie athlete that has won something major has done that.

 

[Ferminal]

Well that's done.

A small classic in Spain next weekend before the 4th GT starts in a week's time.

 

[rainman]

Ahhh...simply magnificent. Chapeau Cadel Evans. Simply amazing....so happy!

Glad for you, fully deserving victory, worth waiting up for?!!

if anything, Cuddles rides even less than Contador. Only Cuddles whines openly that he was too tired in previous years because of a too busy program. Last year ok, but other years? Nah.

Hey, I was surprised to see Tina Arena up there. A fine Australian export.

yes brilliant what a day for BMC and Evans, this is the race that he really wanted to win.
BMC look brilliant as a team, they are all behind evans its great!
Evans will be at the top of the uci ranking!

Bring it on, been looking forward for the Clasica San Sebastian for a while already

He rides more than the Tour... LOL. The only rider who rode nothing but the Tour was LA.

nah schleck beats contador, he rides hard the most

We need more gloating by ACF IMO.

Phil just said he wants to win it though

I don't think BMC was that brilliant this Tour especially in the mountains, but that makes his victory only better I suppose.

 

[Tuarts]

Oh gods, the Australian flag cape. Different sensibilities, I suppose.

I can't for the life of me understand why Oss is getting into bunch sprints. I assume Cancellara was bored today, but Oss has been doing it every day.

I thought Oss was an upcoming sprinter?

Oh and no one does displaying their national identity extravengently to hide their insecurites quite like Australians.

January 26th is insufferable.

Still, have not fault with Cadel today, its his forever.

 

[Ferminal]

Evans will be on some sick amount of CQ and UCI points.

He will be close to Contador now in CQ efficiency (points per race day). He will be in 3rd place for the rolling and 2011 rankings.

I think BMC will be top3 in the UCI rankings now

 

[dlwssonic]

Phil just said he wants to win it though

TBH, the uci ranking is much heavily favored to gc riders then classics riders.
IF cuddles rides the vuelta he should win it.

haha they were already top 6 before le tour.

An exciting last week following a mundane second week following an incredibly wreck-filled first week.

Chapeau Cadel, you carried on even when the motorcycles couldn't.

 

[HL2037]

So the tour of 2011 ended up being a great one, despite the many crashes in the first week. You posters on CN only made it better. Au revoir!

Not really. If Phil wins the Clasica San Sebastian, Vattenfall Cyclassics, the 2 Canadian races, the GP quest Plouay and the Giro di Lombardia he'll easily get more points. That's 500 possible points.

But doesn't matter, especially not for Cuddles. He has the biggest victory one can get in cycling

Staying up for 3 weeks has really drained me. But here we go....


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LITTLE RIPPER!!!!


GO CADEL!!!!!!!!
