Product Description
Swiss Precision Wilting heat, driving rain, and scenic South Australia set the stage for the 2007 Tour Down Under a race that had everything from courageous breakaways to devious tactics to fiercely-contested sprints. The pouring rain was unexpected, this being the first time the TDU has seen a rainy day in its 10-year history, but the racing was as fast and aggressive as you could wish. No wonder the TDU is the UCIs highest ranked non-European race. The Australian riders were out hunting for wins from the beginning, including 3-time Tour de France green jersey winner Robbie McEwen, Olympic track champion Stuart OGrady, Baden Cooke, and Karl Menzies. Menzies got into the all- important break on stage 1 to take the first win and the overall lead, but the rest battled on for single-day honors. The mid-race storms only got the riders racing faster, including an astonishing 30-mph stage 3. And while Australian riders, and Belgian teams, dominated the stage results, a surprise victor emerges to seize victory by the tightest of margins. Its all here for the first time on DVD from WCP! Commentary by Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen. Includes Bonus 2005 Tour Down Under & 2006 Tour Down Under Highlights (over 2 hours of material)!
