Well if you haven't already heard the greatest name in Pro-Cycling as arrived in AUS to return from retirement & compete in the Tour Down Under.
I can't help but wonder how much he is going to win by as I am certain he will want to make a statement that he belongs back in the Pro-Peleton.
If you doubt me then check this out: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/ ... 88,00.html
The Herald had better photos in the News paper on Saturday in Melbourne, all I can say is this guy is ready.
Also TREK have done a custom design on his bike for TDU, pretty interesting with lots of hidden meassge/meanings.

I really wanted to get to this to take some photos, but I fear it just isn't going to happen.

I'll definately be going this Sunday evening, and possibly the next Sunday as well (final stage) depending on the weather that day.

Re: Cycling - The Tour Down Under (18-25 Jan)
I'll be going for the classic stage on the first Sunday (18th) and the Final stage on the second Sunday (25th). Probably take a camera for those since there's usually a lot of photo ops
I'll also be taking part in Challenge tour on the Friday stage (23rd) alongside a whole heap of others! (total sign ups is 7041!) so i'll probably be checking out the finish of that too assuming that i make it to the finish and i'm not too knackered
i might think about purchasing a small point and shoot digital camera for that ride since i reckon that many riders winding their way up Gorge Rd is going to be spectacular! 
Cheers,
