Catch Vino...someone!!!
"If I were World Road Race Champion, I would wear black shorts. That probably has more to do with me being on the wiser side of 30 and understanding better that the decisions I make now never really go away. White shorts would not be something I'd be proud of...." - David Millar, in Rouleur.

Damn straight ...
… he could crash out of yellow, or bonk on a mountain stage and finish with the sprinters …
… ah, wait, now I understand – he was destined to win this one, so he got to have his World Champion curse starting early.
well, evans winning might not be so bad... the curse of the rainbow jersey is still strong... there goes his 2010 season

Yep!
Fabu 5th, Puppy and Samu in the top 10, and Valv.Piti out of the top 10.
Truly, there is some justice in the world!
If you shave them
they pack together closer. And you can knit yourself a nice furry cardigan for winter.
Wahooooooo OMG I'm crying!!

Too bad nobody wanted to help him.
But hey, Sanchez got the coveted 4th place, so in I way I can understand his defensive tactics……
Chapeau to Tony too
He left his heart on the road!
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Time to cue the what ifs.
He cooked the field in the TT, what if he paced himself a little bit?
The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.
He wouldn't have had me in tears over the win
He did the right thing.
Swiss Tony
now knows how German Tony flet after the ITT

So many of my favourites in that final group and Cadel get it. Bah.
But chapeau to him. Great ride.

Glad I'm not the only one.
I’ve been here 6 hours and now I just feel flat :-/ I am pleased for him, but not at all excited.

Yep. I'm bloody pleased for him.
Far from my ideal podium, but good on ’im. ’Bout time.
It was a great ride, really.
For once, you can back it and applaud him…
But i really can’t get excited about it :/
Venga Caisse d'Epargne!
Didn't anyone of the competitors congradulate him?

Good lord, I am amazed to say that I'm not unhappy
OK man, you did it, and you did it with style. Chapeau.
Nice.
Always worried Cadel would finish his career without a signature win. He has it. Aussies should be proud!
We are, we are all tearing up.. well i am

He can act however he wants.. He's the WC

Not winning le Tour is all forgiven by Silence-Lotto management now.
"As you can imagine, there are better places to have your birthday party than in some village called Mushny Mush Mishme." --The Wisdom of Jens
I completely agree about the signature win thing
This was a classic world champs..not one of the boring ones and he won…head to head against the big guns
Even better than the win
Harmon just said bollocks live on ES when they told him they were cutting back to the studio with no podiums!
"Look at the speed he's turning the pedals.. Cancellara is within sight of Gustav Eric Larsson at 16km.. Cancellara goes past as the crowd goes bonkers. I'm going to stand up to see how fast he's going...Man, Oh Man, That Man Can Fly....I don't know what size chainring is on there but it looks like a dinner plate. 52.178km/h. Wow. You've got to hand it to him" Dave Harmon

They were 9 in the group at first

Congrats, PdC Aussies! You have a right to be proud.
I’m surprised as hell, but very VERY happy to see Cadel win. He’s very deserving a World Champion.
Isn't it your bedtime? ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
He gets so little respect, given his palmares
and breadth. Several year career as a—or THE—world class mountain biker (as people have been mentioning).
He's actually won three world championships.

I need to watch a replay of his attack
I was out having a smoke :)
Wahoooo Well done Cadel, ok can stop tearing up now!!

Was it you in the 1st thread who made the prediction from a soigneur taking care of
the Aussies at this race? Who predicted an Aussie win?
Yes my friend was his sogneur and he said an aussie will win

HAhaha he adjust his balls THEN his hair
BEfore the stage
If it wasn't for my overly large balls
I would have had a great cycling career
For the last time...
his name is not OLIVER RODRIGUEZ!!

pfff, crying as always
Be like O’Grady and toughen up.
J/K, his relentless attacking spree this season has finally paid off. :D
Try looking at Paris-Roubaix photos 2007. Stuey cried too
and if you want more try our fave Tony. Cryers all three and all the better for it ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Oh I do know, a rather big Stuey fan
as well as a fan of how the Saxo/CSC guys are trained(by a former elite soldier) to hug and share emotions. (:
He is really, finally, holding his head high.
As his own worst critic, he’s finally got those inner demons bound and tied. Good for him. Looks a proper winner, and proper world champion.
