Since you are my readers, and I have not been much of a traveller, I will not talk about people a thousand miles off, but come as near home as I can. As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism. — Henry David Thoreau

Another Australian cycling three-peat

Michael Rogers riding to his third consecutive world time trail championship

Just a week or two after Brad McGee became the first Australian to have held the leaders’ jerseys in the three major tours, Michael Rogers has just become the first ever rider to win three elite time trial world championships. Even more impressively, Rogers has won his three titles in consecutive championships.

I feel like a millionaire…

Wednesday August 31, 2005 07:53

And my mate (am I allowed to call him that?) Pete feels like he’s Prime Minister of Australia.

When asked on the Nine Network’s Today program yesterday if he was ready to lead the country, Mr Costello said that, as Treasurer and deputy Liberal leader, “I feel in a sense that I do lead in this country”. “I have done 10 budgets, I have been responsible for the economy and people’s jobs and mortgage interest rates for the last nine years, so I feel in many respects I do.”

Unfortunately for both of us, there’s a big difference between feelings and reality.

McGee’s European three-peat

Monday August 29, 2005 07:25

Congratulations to Bradley McGee who claimed the overall lead of the Vuelta a España after finishing a close second to Italy’s Leonardo Bertagnolli on day two of the Spanish tour.

McGee becomes the first Australian ever to have worn the leader’s jersey from all three Grand Tour cycling events, adding the Spanish Jersey de Oro (Golden Jersey) to his wardrobe which already contains the French Maillot Jaune and the Italian Maglia Rosa.
