Can you believe it - Cadel in Gold

Well we're still pinching ourselves. We took over a local pub / restaurant down the road from our hotel in Paris and counted down the riders until Cadel hit the Grenoble TT course. He looked focused and super calm at the start gate and Andy looked, well, how shall I put it, s&^t scared - wide open pupils and looking like he'd already lost the TdF. Experience counts. It will be his time in the future no doubt, once he learns to TT.

I saw on Twitter that Channels 2,7, 9 and 10 from OZ were all in Grenoble this morning. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kochie and Stefanovic on Syd TV live from Paris.

Now to pick out our spot in Paris to watch the racing laps and hoping we get on the course tomorrow am.

In the meantime, off to our final Bikestyles dinner which will no doubt be a champagne fest toasting Cadel.

Just a handful of pics today of our Paris experience to date:

The crazy TGV station in Lyon for our train trip up to Paris


Not another bloody photo Paul !!
French version of Vegetables. A remarkable lack of vegies and fresh fruit here but plenty of pastries
and Deserts
What would you choose to celebrate with from the choice of Champagne ?
