*snickers* Robbie McEwen, one of the Aussie sprinters, has won three stages already this Tour and is second overall. Michael Rogers, another Aussie who one of the people on my flist knows, is third. There's... six? Australians competing altogether, I think, although I don't think Stuary O'Grady's going to make the whole three weeks - he crashed on the third stage and cracked a vertebrae. :( Still riding at the moment, tho'.
However, we shall see what happens when they hit the mountain stages. Nemesis of the Aussie cyclists, those.
