Cadel wins TDF

My god, Cadel finally did it!

His time trial was awesome, got back 57sec and now with 1min+ ahead of rivals.

He is from Victoria too! Just too perfect!

A bit sad now, as the tour will finish tonight... have to wait whole year to see it again.

I guess, can watch Vuelta a Espana in late August... last Grand Tour of the year...

Alpe D'Huez stage coming in couple of days

I've been waiting to see the stage for a fews years, I missed last few TDF broadcasts. I can still remember vividly witnessing Lance Armstrong in 2001 riding away from Jan Ullrich, incredible! I can't wait to see what's going to happen this year on the most famous climb in TDF.

Mad Fiber vs Mavic Comsic Cabone Ultimate


Mad Fiber: 1085g, unique design, aerospace materials, handmade but a little bit crass on finishing - AUD 2900.00 (exclude shipping cost)


Mavic: renowned French wheel manufacturer, professional level, 1185g, 100g heavier than Mad Fiber, awesome machine finish ~ AUD 3000.00 (exclude shipping cost). My favorite cyclist Philip Gilbert's choice. 

I just can't decide.... Mad Fiber - hand made, waiting period ~ 6 to 8 weeks; Mavic probably available right now....
