Jack Bobridge - UniSA-Australia

UniSA-Australia young gun Jack Bobridge told Grandstand making his ProTour debut at the Tour Down Under was an "awesome" experience.

The 19-year-old Bobridge impressed many seasoned observers, including seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, with his performances during the six-stage race that eventually saw him claim 65th place on the General Classification standings.

His willingness to attack was noted during yesterday's stage five when he was awarded the most aggressive rider award and he was again prominent in pushing the pace during this afternoon's criterium in Adelaide, although he and his team-mates mistook one of the sprint laps.
