Good on ya Caddy!
can someone help spanky understand exactly what he won?.... So, they run a race and a timetrial during a multi day event or is the event the "Road World Titles"... and whoever gets the fastest overall time wins? Or has spanky once again missed something important...
and next year the time trial and race will be held in geelong melbourne?
not sure what you've won caddy, but good on ya....

Top job Cadel, you proved your critics wrong.
hope that helps spanky
Cadel won the right to wear the rainbow jersey during all road race stages & events for a year. Fabien Cancellara won the right to wear the rainbow jersey in any TT event or stage.
hope that helps spanky

Wish I had watched it all now. I gave up just after half way. It was on One HD last night. 19 laps of the course in Lugarno or theirabouts in Switzerland. All the locals were for Cancellara of course. I must say I prefer a lack of laps in road racing, esp when the scenery is so good, but I guess the on-course spectators get to see so much more this way.

It was the best Ive seen Cadel ride, he made all the right moves and was clearly very strong. I think everyone was waiting for Gerrans not Cadel which meant he wasn't a marked man.
Did everyone think it was a pretty average celebration at the end though? He just waved at the crowd, no hands in the air or anything.

Only time cadel shows emotion is if his little dog is being harrassed by media
Personally i thought it was good to see a subdued celebration instead rocking baby, shooting arrows etc etc. Been such a hard year for cadel - i reckon he was just relieved for it to be over. Also unlike most of the roadies, Cadel virtually rides and attacks on his own all season - - probably too f..kd to carry on
Sign him up Lance

Trouble is he then bitched about not having any support after solo attcking all the time. Hopefully this win will get him into a good team that can actually work to getting him a GC win on a GT. Lance and Cadel wouldn't go so well. Lance would still be the number two rider on the team. I hope he goes to Sky.Also unlike most of the roadies, Cadel virtually rides and attacks on his own all season - - probably too f..kd to carry on

Congrats Cadel!

But if he had a strong team he wouldnt have to go on solo attacks, he cant afford to attack all the time but he has to.
Heres a link for the win http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z__ZGCD9M9Y&feature=related
Lance number 2 rider???? dont say that to him, he was no 1 on astana this yr (much to contadors disgust!!!)
Lance has said he will win 2010 tdf then retire frm tdf leavn door open for new leader. Yeh i know it wont happen but can only dream
