3 Cheers for Cadel Evans!!
WoooHoooo!!! Way to go Cadel Evans!! You're the man!! Chapeau!!
The term used to describe Cadel Evans' ride in the final time trial was "He's riding like a Man-Machine." In fact he's ridden all 3 weeks of the tour like that. Focused, steady and in peak fitness. He deserves every bit of the yellow jersey he'll be wearing..
PS I know the Tour is held in Summer but here in OZ it's the middle of winter, and the stages are in the middle of the night, so for us getting cosy in quilts is part of our tour experience. For the full story of the Tour De France quilt pop over here...

Congratulations Australia! Love your quilt. I can't imagine wrapping up in a quilt today, it's 98 degrees! Can we have just a little bit of that cool weather?
