So, er, how much for Serge?

Now that the Tour de France is over and my celebrity is going through the roof (cough), I think I may put in a call to Serge Borlée, Cadel Evans's hulking bodyguard. I'm gonna be needing some protection from the cycling groupies. They're a persistent mob.

Talk to any of the Euro aficionados following the Tour and they tell you Cadel Evans is a shoe-in to make-up the required 94 seconds on Carlos Sastre in Saturday’s time trial.

Cadel's under the pump in more ways than one

Another awesome stage in the mountains last night, sadly the last of the big hors-catégorie climbs, the fabled Alpe d'Huez. Again, not beating our own drum here, but the coverage was superb. Top-notch.

Did you all enjoy the Tour de France rest day? I can only imagine how many thousands of zombies showed up late for work in Australia following Simon Gerrans’ ride into the history books in the wee hours of the morning.

The moment has finally arrived! Over the course of the next three days it is likely the victor in the 2008 Tour de France will emerge from among the towering peaks of the French / Italian Alps.

Six man battle royale looms ahead

Mark down another stage win to Mark Cavendish. What a champion, the first Englishmen to claim four stage wins ever in the Tour de France and he’s only twenty-four.
