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.</p>AnonymousMon, 13 Jul 2009 22:36:59 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504054<p>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.</p>NevMon, 13 Jul 2009 21:19:19 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504053<p>I read somewhere that cycling is Australia's second biggest sport in terms of numbers participating. #1 is soccer</p>AnonymousMon, 13 Jul 2009 10:57:30 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504052<p>can you believe France has 41 riders in the tour? Good to see they're finally racking up some stage wins with those numbers</p>zakMon, 13 Jul 2009 10:43:35 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504051<p>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.</p><p>Where are you, USA?!? Lance won't be around forever!</p>katherineMon, 13 Jul 2009 10:35:55 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504050<p>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!</p>AnonymousMon, 13 Jul 2009 09:55:41 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504049<p>have you heard his accent? <br>sounds bogan to me. has to be an aussie</p>bill postersMon, 13 Jul 2009 03:19:09 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504048<p>Hausler lived in Australia for the first sixteen years of his life so i think that counts as Australian</p>AnonymousMon, 13 Jul 2009 02:55:50 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504047<p>Last I heard Haussler is in the process of changing his citizenship. He's coming back to Aus!</p><p>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.</p>the clingerMon, 13 Jul 2009 01:48:15 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504046<p>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?</p><p>;-)</p>DavidSun, 12 Jul 2009 22:28:08 -0000https://cyclingtips.com.au/2009/07/the-other-australians/#comment-21504045<p>Aussie Aussie Aussi...Oyi Oyi Oyi!!!</p>AnonymousSun, 12 Jul 2009 22:26:32 -0000
