Allan Davis Wins Tour Down Under

A story of determination. Allan has been in the TDU 11 times in a row. He had never won a stage there until this year and he won 3 of them this week. Enough time bonuses to keep my favorite Stuart O’Grady 25 seconds back in 2nd place. Lance Armstrong also using the race as his come back race made the event even more memorable.

Been following Lance on his twitter.com account too.
