What does New Zealand have in common with the Tour de France? Not much, you might think, and you would be right. But still, a connection exists.
The last stage of the Tour 2008 was won by a compatriot of ours, Gert Steegmans. He went first over the finish line on the Champs Élysées in Paris. But who do we see in sixth place in this most prestigious stage of the Tour? Julian Dean, the current New Zealand champion and only New Zealander to compete in the largest cycle race in the world.
Well done Gert! Well done Julian!
