Big Down Under!

The Tour Down under wrapped up the past Sunday in sunny Australia.

Portuguese rider Thiago Machado rode strong, and finished strong to take 3rd in the final stage, and 3rd in the General Classification.

Jan Bakelants used his TT wheel on the rear to lead a strong early charge and break away. His surge awarded him with winning the most aggressive rider jersey.

As a team, Radio Shack Nissan/Leopard (I still like the name Leopard, and love the simple 0 underscored logo!) Trek won the overall team standings in the Santos Tour Down Under. Big start for Trek!  

First Of The Year Mate!

It is that time again! The Tour Down Under starts tomorrow in Australia, and here ladies and gentlemen is your Trek line up:

Cyclist (Country) Expertise/Possible Victories
Daniele Bennati (ITA) Sprinter
Linus Gerdemann (GER) Overall
Ben Hermans (BEL)
Tiago Machado (Portugal) Time Trial/Overall
Hayden Roulston (NZL)
Jesse Sergent (NZL)
Jens Voigt (GER) Beast (In a good way)/Overall in my book, not the experts...

I would rather have the 23 degrees Celsius that the Aussie's will see tomorrow than the 0 that I will be facing!
