Expect a fantastic finish by the sprinters if they can bring it together tonight. Cav or even Mark Renshaw might be in for a win. Glad to see my old mate and riding buddy Matty Hayman from ACT finally getting his chance, at 36. We'd often be at lights waiting for the change and he'd pop a mono and hop his bike backwards until he could sit on my bars and then ride off on his back wheel when they changed. Awesome bike skills. Cadel may be past it but he could start to concentrate on other events. I remember training with him when he first swapped over to Road from MTB, I'd be out riding with him and Neil Stephens and Stevo's brothers while Cadel soaked up all the knowledge he could on dealing with media to representing sponsors in the pro road sector. I'll be hanging my hopes on Gerrans and Porte for a great showing for the Aussies this year. Very classy riders but there are a number of others who have every chance to shine.
