Mark Renshaw... The boy from Bathurst



What a fantastic Tour de France 2009 finish for Mark Cavendish (6 stages!) but in my opinion Cav's real hero is Mark Renshaw... The boy from Bathurst, leading him over the line on the Champs-Élysées. Phil Liggett said it himself, 'This man can win stages'. Great strength and control, and a typical country boy lack of fear when attacking the corners. October 22nd, almost a Scorpio!

A very, very special congratulations to Lance Armstrong.

No doubt. Is it just me who is glad Armstrong didn't win? I'm all for fairy tale,s but if he's have won then retired again we'd have been left with a peloton that we knew wasn't good enough to beat someone just out of retirement. I hope that makes sense, I haven't been sleeping enough lately. G

Kinda glad it's all over too. I'm sure if there was any risk of public interest waning in the Tour due to a certain outcome that certain outcome would be prevented. Same as F1. And the local derby.
