G'day dave,

was good...big Karl is a powerful rider...somehow I can't see him winning the Baw Baw stage!......i was a little surprised that Macca let him win it, given that they are on the same team & macca is the team leader....I guess he's got bigger fish to fry later in the tour. They got away virtually from the start, the Pom was always in trouble being away with 2 team mates!...they worked it perfectly......Macca 'went' with about 4 to go, making the pom chase while karl sat on...karl counter attacked then, the pom opted to settle for trying to sprint for 2nd......was a good day
