This is a huge moment in the history of Australian sport. In tennis this is like winning Roland Garros, in golf the US Open. Only the Tour de France is bigger than the Giro d'Italia.

The moment we knew Carapaz was gone and it was up to Jai Hindley to ride as hard as he could, all the way to the line!
The Aussie delivered big-time on the hardest stage with all the pressure in the world on his shoulders!

RIP Chris Anker Sorensen. As a rider he was selfless and full of grit. In the media compound he was just as generous and friendly. Thoughts are with his family and friends.
It’s more than okay to wear pro team kit and ride in runners. And you don’t have to train the house down as a junior to make it. Roglic in his early 20s. He’s now in yellow at the Tour de France.

Congratulations to

Both of them were the Plan B for their team. They delivered a sensational edition of the race.
It's been an incredible journey from Jai Hindley's first race as a 6yr old to the leader of the

Great signing. The reaction to this announcement, compared to what the team is doing at the TdF, shows how much Australians want an Australian star on the team.

No one really thought Greg Lemond could claw back 50sec on Laurent Fignon, in the final 24km ITT in 1989, except Lemond in this interview two days before his most famous victory. Positions on the

As good as Simon Yates was today, taking an impressive win, the performance by Esteban Chaves was the one that really caught my attention - 14th, same time as Boasson Hagen and 4sec quicker than Kelderman. That's a huge step forward.

Cycling needs to work on its concussion protocol. Super tough on the road but Bardet was in no state to continue. He finished the stage but he won’t start today.

Equality aside, I support more coverage of women’s cycling because it’s entertaining.
Vos 2012 worlds, Van Vleuten v Van Der Breggen at 2018 La Course, Ella Harris on Falls Creeks this year (Sun Tour) are among the best races I’ve watched.
Covering women's cycling is the most important thing we can do for the current and upcoming generation of cyclists. There is no quick solution, but we invite you to join us in spreading the message and being part of the conversation.
The Tour is not over. Dumoulin is just 19sec behind Froome (and he had a 20sec penalty on St 6) and Thomas has never finished top-10 in a grand tour.

After the devastating crash at the 2016 Olympics, the disappointment of thinking she’d won gold in the road race to be told it was silver, it’s great to see Annemiek van Vleuten win the gold medal in the time trial.
