Bike.com | Baden Cooke Stage 8 diary : I'm feeling confident
Current green jersey Baden Cooke posts an update to his rider's diary at Bike.com.
With this green jersey on my shoulders, the Tour has been a dream so far. We’ve now worn all the jerseys at Fdjeux.com: yellow with Brad McGee, polka dot with Christophe Mengin and I wore white before the team time trial. There has only been one day, stage 6, that not any of us was wearing a specific jersey.
Prologue winner Bradley McGee has been having trouble keeping his energy up; Cooke calls it hypoglycemia, while elsewhere McGee calls them hunger flats or 'the bonk'.

importance. So I'd like to say: BaDeN
