Straw poll for selecting photos of cyclists at the
2009 Tour Down Under
Information
Photos were taken at the team parade at the start of the
2009 Tour Down Under , January 18, 2008.
They were all very gentlemanly. Very dignified and genial. So were the crowd. Apart from the middle-aged man who stood net to the YellowMonkey and intentionally jabbed him in the ribs for about an hour.

The crowd favourites, judged by the decibel level of the applause, were in no particular order, Armstrong, Hincapie, Pereiro, Greipel, Voigt, O'Grady, Michael Rogers, McEwen, Baden Cooke, Bobridge (local boy).
