Not a dry eye in the house...

And Rob Warner! "Fuuuuuuuuuucking Pedal!!!!"

The most biased, emotional comentary I've ever heard, in a any sport, ever. Brilliant. They should get Rob to have a pop a comentating on bowls or something.

I'd watch that. "What the **** is going on? This is ****! What are you doing? Just HAMMER IT! SMASH THEIR BALLS!"

I loved the way Rob was obviously biased, and I think it would have been a crying shame to have forced him to behave any other way.

same, especially watching that interview with Warner afterwards. The fact that they were both nearly in tears, but so relieved that he's finally done it.

Best of all was that after all this time he deserved it so badly and it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. Not only that but the fact that he didn't win because any of the other contenders fell or weren't competing. He was just the best on the day.

I haven't said in all the other threads, but yeah, I got more than a tear there. Warner's interview. I will never forget that. That was perhaps the most genuine slice of sportmanship we will (I will) ever see.

I managed to watch it live (actually on at a semi-decent time here, finished ~11 pm) and thought it was a great great race as I watched it unfold. Very chuffed for my fellow doctor 8)
