It actually wasn't that interesting. The cyclists just went off slowly (for them).

Nice to see people heading out with the camera to the other stages; Mawson Lakes seemed pretty darn packed yesterday.

There is a sheeeetload of waiting around at the start of each race, I'd be looking as bored as the Barloworld guys if I had to spend that much time waiting. I've never actually seen a stage start either, the media vans pull off 10 mins ahead but means I ain't missing much eh :)

Are you heading to Stirling tommorow Daniel?

Hi Ronza,

I didn't think that it was too busy.
Last year there was more of a carnival atmosphere around the stage 1 start.

Probably not. Although it's a shame you miss the line up, before they head off.

No. Some of us have to work. :D
I only went to this start because I work very close by.

Ouch. I guess it will take a little while for the mouth to recover. Hope you get better soon.

Daniel, thankfully whose teeth are all intact...
