| Sad news. Read today that internet is replacing television as major source of entertainment. If we don't watch more tv could disappear within a decade. Therefore I have decided to devote all spare hours to television, thus limiting oportunity to train.
It is with this thought that I announce my retirement from all sports.
Thank you to all my sponsors, supporters and admirers.
I would like to pay particular homage to robw, acejase and lorac for inspiration over the last months.
love and merry Xmas to youse all

| Stayed at the back of the bunch until the climb, then moved forward. Dropped by the main pack early, then rode through the loose riders, picking them off one by one. Daniel Vanechop (6th overall) came through me. I latched on to his wheel, taking in more riders. At one stage we had a pack of 6, then 4. I let go of that pack in the last km, held them to 30m until just before the summit when Grade 2/3 came through us and Daniel latched on to them. TT'd home. Once again all I had in me. 1hr 52min 15th place WT 1:48:04 |

| Bright/RosewhiteGap/Tawonga Gap/Bright loop.
Dropped a chain at the bottom of Tawonga Gap, lost the bunch. Rode back through the straggling bunches to the gap then TT down the other side. Lost 45 seconds in the last 50metres with a huge hamstring cramp as I rolled to a standstill, stopped. Walked over the line. Disappointing.
