Yeah, sad for Andy, but, wow, did Cadel earn this one and iike you said Andy has plenty of time. So fantastic that the Land of Oz finally gets the honor, too.

I've only one minor quibble and it's that I'd have preferred Voelker had the privilege of stepping up to a podium in Paris today somehow.

But hopefully, he'll get lots of endorsement contracts in compensation for his heroic hard work serving as the Energizer lapin of the TdF this year.

Phil, Paul and Bob agreed that Voeckler will never again have to buy a drink in France! I think he (and Rolland) will be much heralded in France and in Europe in general on the cycling circuit.
