Since we don’t have our own eyes and ears on the ground in Adelaide for the Tour Down Under, here are some links that do:

CyclingNews.com – coverage of the press release, which is largely the same coverage that’s in the NY Times today.

VeloNews.com – Race coverage, detailing Robbie McEwen’s win and Lance Armstrong’s 64th place finish (results from the opening crit don’t count toward the final times), plus a little commentary on some of the statements made at the press release.

Grandstand Cycling – ABC’s podcast of the event, with commentary from Roger Wills, John Thompson-Mills and Peter Walsh.

Astana Cycling Team – Photo gallery of the team, including the pic shown here.
