Default Jacob's Creek Tour Down Under

Who is going to win this years Jacob's Creek Tour Down Under?

Past Winners Include:
2002 Michael Rogers (Aus) Australian Institute Of Sport
2001 Stuart O'Grady (Aus) Credit Agricole
2000 Gilles Maignan (Fra) Ag2r Prevoyance
1999 Stuart O'Grady (Aus) Credit Agricole

My pick is Stuey O'Grady, he looked very comfortable on the climb during the aussie titles, we all know how well he can sprint and read a race

cheers!

I picked Stuey. I don't know if it's because I think he'll win or just 'cause I want him to win.

Graeme Brown has a bit of a rep for irregular sprinting, he is very fast though.

This is a typical McEwen comment
Quote:
"As far as I'm concerned, the officials did their job," said McEwen, disappointed with second, but clearly preferring to see Cooke rather than Brown in the leader's yellow jersey. "I would have liked to have won and I think I would have won, but I had my sprint impeded."


cheers!
