fair dinkum

A two-week jaunt to Spain meant I've been slack on the postings but I did manage to catch the Worlds on the BBC. Cadel Evans is another of those bike riders who seems to always divide opinion - wheelsucking whinger to some, a dogged fighter to others - but I was really glad to see him finally triumph in a race of significance. Certainly he can no longer be accused of lacking the cojones to go all out for victory. His attack was everything an attack should and needs to be. Well-timed. Sustained. And with an element of surprise. How else are you going to beat Cunego, Sanchez, Cancellara, Kolobnev, Rodriguez and Valverde? I should have listened to my girlfriend and put a few bob on him.
