Tour de France - Stage 20
Saturday, 23 July 2011
On his web site he wrote.. Shorter stage....longer day - thats ok! Plan was, ride fast from (a) depart to point (b) arrive.... Couldnt get the stage win but, it was great for GC. Surreal even.... A huge thank you to everyone involved in this project, from team mates on the road, my teammates in the cars/trucks plane and bus around the race, the engineers at BMC, the management in the offices in Switzerland, Belgium, Australia, California.
My coaches past and present, and all those who helped me to get here today; masseurs, physios/osteopaths, orthopaedic surgeons (!), all the Aussie flag bearers; kangaroos, koalas, surflife savers, Collingwood supporters (*) and that nutty Crikey Cadel crocodile (very original).
I hope you enjoyed the ride thus far. I know I have! (*) I dont have anything against supporters, you just stand out like dogs ..... In Europe.
We can be proud of it, Julia told me herself!
