As if Australian cycling needed anymore justification for
its place in the predominantly European, but increasingly global, sport.
Australian Chris Sutton got his chance to shine in under the
Spanish sun by winning the second stage of the final grand tour of the year;
the Vuelta A Espana. Sutton won in a sprint stage, surprisingly not claimed by
the Manx missile and ruggedly good looking
Brit Mark Cavendish.
With all these Aussies now swarming the peloton like green
and gold bees, I wonder what we, the spectators call them? In America, the Aussie
expats turned actors are called the “Gumleaf Mafia” so what about in cycling?
Green-Edge is already taking?
Perhaps this question requires more thought, so I’ll leave
it there.
Congratulations goes out to Team Sky and Chris Sutton for a
great stage win, and to another Aussie imprinting on modern day cycling.
So what do you think readers, what should call our Aussie boys collectively in the peloton?
