A massive day for Australia in the Tour de France (Cadel Evans 2nd stage 1)... But the big news is that Shara Gillow won the 2nd stage of the Giro Donne and the pink jersey! This is the first pink jersey for Australia EVER. I rode the Giro Donne with Shara last year and she is such a big talent. Big things are in store for that lady. The other big news is that 2nd in the stage was none other than Sharon Laws (aka nicest chick in the peleton). Shaz exited the Giro last year with a broken collarbone and spends most of the year being super-domestique for Emma Pooley on Garmin-Cervelo. Sharon is also an honorary Australian as she lives in Melbourne over the Aussie summer. What a huge weekend! It's all so exciting. I love July!
Ride Happy.
