This truely is the last frontier for Australian sport.  For Australian Cadel Evens to get set second in the Tour de France is truely remarkable.   I have been glued to the television in the early hours of the morning watching the Tour and Australia can be very proud of the performance of Evans.  He has put on a gutsy performance with out the support of a strong team and has hung in there and acheived an amazing result.

I love the Tour de France and when I was growing up my dream was one day was to ride in the Tour de France and I would one day love to travel to France and watch the race live.    As a long time watcher of the Tour it is great to see the efforts taken to clean up the sport and the Tour will survive.  It would be great to an Australian team backed by an Australian company in the race.  Imagin Cadel Evans, Michael Rodgers, Robbie McEwan and Stuart O'grady as the backbone of an Australian Pro cycling team.   I can wait until the 2008 Tour.   I think next year Evans can win.
