The Santos Tour Down Under signals the opening to the pro cycling season. A nice distraction from the cold and snow of the midwest. This is the first outing for Lance Armstrong’s new Team Radio Shack and they look pretty good so far. While not on par with the Tour de France or other high profile races it is a nice race to get to know your new team and stretch your legs a bit in preparation for the season ahead.

Possibly one of the greatest Tours of all time. The story is even more amazing when you get a behind the scenes look at what was going on.
