Tour de France Finishing... - Tiggi - 24-07-2011
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 !

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