I am not a physically expressive man, but I am dancing now, let me tell you.

Cadel, who I have been following faithfully for years. Cadel, the man who always seems to almost, but not quite, have enough. Cadel, the man who never leads. Cadel, wheelsucker who doesn’t attack.

Cadel, who today attacked Cancellara, Valverde, Cunego, Sanchez and the rest and blew their fricken wheels off to take the World Road Championships.

I am a happy man.

good for him, I am especially glad that the only team that worked to get the break back (ie Australia) were rewarded. I would have been royally pissed off if the so-called favourites from Spain would have gotten something out of it while riding on other countries’ work. It will alos be nice to see the rainbow jersey more prominantly featured in the big tours.
