This is a blatant and unashamed cheer for all the Aussie lads rolling around France at the moment.

Baden on the podium, Stuey O'Grady on the breakaway, Brad McGee in yellow as lead-out for Cookie, and Robbie McEwan still in with a show for green (although not riding as well as we had all hoped), Rogers fourth in a stage in his first tour. Love it!!

But I have to admit - our accent in the interviews makes me cringe a bit, but their honesty does make for some funny interviews...
