Tour de France Finishing...
#1
Fantastic final few days in the Alps, but Cadel Evans did the damage in yesterdays Individual Time Trial for the first ever Australian win !!

The race is effectively over, with just the procession into Paris, and the final Sprint to complete.

Well done Cadel, heroic ride:

For a country that has a small population the Aussies have to be commended for their athletic superiority !

Canada is somewhat similar in that we do very well in the Summer and Winter Olympics !

Think we have some claims too 16 million Nederlands and we can boast quite a sporting record............no Nederland is a small land ! :laugh:
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown.

Second & third were the Schleck brothers from Luxemburg. There are only three people that live in Luxemburg (or something like that...).
