Rolf, I would not be surprised if we see Cadel retire now. His father did mention something about that possibility.
Whether he has another tour in him at that pace is a question. No matter what though, he elevated cycling in Australia just that little bit more. In fact year by year with the likes of Stuart O'Grady, Cadel, Robby, McGee and others of the years; the sport is now at an all time high. Every year I see more and more bikes out on the road. Its become quite an industry and a healthy past time.
Great to see an Aussie on the podium at last. I hope to see more again in the future and I am looking forward to seeing the Australian team next year.
