MTB Ryder comes good

 Last Sunday night I sat on the edge of my seat watching Canada's Ryder Hesjedal ride the biggest Time Trial of his career to win the Giro D' Italia. Canada has had a few good professional racers, Steve Bauer came close to some big results but nothing like winning the Giro.   With Cadel Evans winning the Tour de France last year and now this, it really brings a lot of respect to the Mountain Bike world. I actually raced against both Cadel and Ryder when they were both starting out in the late 90's and even then it was obvious that they were special.  Just being special is not enough to win a big race though, it took both of them many years of hard work and sacrifice to get where they are now. I congradulate both of them and I hope to see them both battle for the Tour de France !
