Cancellara absolutely smashed the field today beating second place (Millar) by 1:02. Der Panzerwagen (Martin) comes 16,000km to Australia looking for a gold medal in the ITT and punctures, finishing 1:12 behind Cancellara. Could you imagine?
Seeing Richie Porte get 4th was the highlight of my day. He was only 5 seconds off getting a podium spot which is absolutely phenomenal for a guy who was riding the Tour of Bright only 3 years ago. The way Richie rides is inspiring. I’m speechless.
Oh yes, how can we forget Mick Rogers with 5th place? Well done fellas!

At my first press conference. Tony Martin looked like he was falling asleep
Fotoreporter Stefano Sirotti hard at work in the media center straight after the race finishes. This is the man who has been taking these awesome photos for us this past year. His father Emanuele Sirotti started the cycling photography business back in the days of Merckx. Stefano has carried on with his work for 15yrs now. He’s hardly missed a professional race in Europe in this time. He’s a fantastic guy who I’m glad to finally meet – even if he is a Nikon man.Tomorrow at 1pm AEST is the U23 (AKA espoirs) Road Race. This is going to be one hell of a show. These kids are racing for contracts and recognition. This year’s road race will be the shortest in the history of this event. The U23’s have to cover 159km, which is 3km less than the 1997 road race in San Sebastián. Who’s your tip?
