Is Haussler Australian or German? Thought he was German. Or did he spend a few days in Aus and now you're claiming him as you're own?

Last I heard Haussler is in the process of changing his citizenship. He's coming back to Aus!
Unfortunatley, the UCI won't allow him to compete for either Germany or Australia for 2 years. He skipped the worlds last year and will skip them again this year so he can race for Australia in Melbourne in 2010.

Hausler lived in Australia for the first sixteen years of his life so i think that counts as Australian

I find it astonishing to see Matty Lloyd not able to keep up with the front guys on the climb of stage 7. I've ridden with him before and have seen first hand how strong he is. I can't fathom how fast the guys at the front are riding!

Wow. The numbers of Aussies and Americans at the Tour are about equal. I find that hard to believe. It's a shame how few people in America cycle. With the way Boulder, Colorado swaggers about its Olympic-caliber residents, you'd think the entire city could field more than one team.
Where are you, USA?!? Lance won't be around forever!

can you believe France has 41 riders in the tour? Good to see they're finally racking up some stage wins with those numbers

I read somewhere that cycling is Australia's second biggest sport in terms of numbers participating. #1 is soccer

Didn't think much of Matt Lloyd's interview the other night. Understand he'd had a tough day on the bike but he was moaning about all the other riders who don't have a job to do (e.g. helping GC guys) moving forward at the bottom of the climb and making it difficult and dangerous for him to get up the front. Give me a spell - this happens in nearly every ride no matter what the level, nobody likes being near the back at the bottom of a big climb. He wouldn't have a problem if he moved up earlier before the rush. You don't see Astana or Columbia riders getting stuck down the back.

Totally agree. I get that it must be frustrating getting tangled in other people's crashes, but he's a paid professional and should have more class than to whinge on tv.

Agree, bald little sook should play soccer the way he carried on.
