Dear Cadel,
You’re a fine man & a champion athlete. You have shown that time & again. Last night was no different. You rode your own race … and a few others’ as well.
Tonight: the Alpe d’Huez. Tomorrow: the race of truth.
Marcus Burghardt said it best in a tweet after stage 4:
Today we saw what BMC Racing Team can do with 9 riders and 19 staff pulling for one goal
Now, there is a million-plus army clad in the black & red of BMC.
A whole country willing you on.
Your bella Chiara – her humour & grace beloved by all.
All pulling in the same direction.
One goal – to see you in the maillot jaune on the only road that matters … the Champs Élysée.
Two more efforts. Chapeau. Forza

Cadel, go for it!
Chiara, I love your tweets. May be we meet for a wine .-)
Cadel, last night you won the hearts and minds of everyone down under with your unberlievable courage and strength! Hold on one more night, we all know you’ll smash them in the TT! No matter what happens you have become a hero to millions of Aussie sitting glued to late night tour watching! GO SMASHEM and take what is rightfully yours mate!
Great words and I agree 100% I love the TdF!!
