When the closing stages of the tour de France, some 350km’s of challenging to rain is ahead until Ryder cycle down the home stretch of the Sarkozy. And Victoria’s rider Hesjedal will be among those in the front pack chasing the yellow jersey. We’ve been following him through out the race. And Alan Waterman has this update.


“That was great performance by Hesjedal by four filled coming up to the finish line.”

Fourth place for one of the toughest stages in the tour de France. Now eight over all.

“It’s unreal, I mean, I feel good in the last part and just gave it everything.”

Ryder Hesjedal is throwing cycling fans with his cline through the rain in cycling most strategist event. His biking buddies gathering the local cycling shop for the last 17 days following their pilot in the orient chaman.

“On the edge of my seat, I loose my voice cause I screamed and feels really good to, you know, to know he is doing that well and everyone else cheer him on.”

Today the leaders rolled in just one minute and 27 seconds ahead of Hesjedal. Over all he is little more than over 9 minutes behind the top spot. And that’s saying something for someone from Canada. Country wide cyclists don’t exactly have the same development opportunities as their European counter parts.

“We were true new beats.”

Alex Stieda was the first north America to wear the yellow jersey when he headed the tour de France in 1986 as for Ryder Hesjedal in 2010.

“To do what he’s done with limited development as he had as a teenager is huge. No question about it.”

But the man who took over hesjedal’s development in his 20’s is not surprised.

“Because he had it, he’s just fond the opportunity to show what he got.”

“I feel really good. I feel like I can get stronger. So, you know, few more days and we’ll be real happy in Paris.”

There are three stages left, three days left for Ryder Hesjedal to retain or even improve pawn’s position and standing come home with Canada’s best tour de France finish in more than 20 years.
