Evans takes the Yellow Jersey in a tough race

The Maillot Jeune has gone to Australian Cadel Evans by 1 second over Frank Schleck in an extremely gruelling ride up the two massive unclassified climbs today.

evans Todays race from Pau to Hautacam included the highest pass for this years race in the Pyrenees, the pass over the Col du Tourmalet. Early attacks saw the leader Di Gregorio take a 6 minute lead into the race down hill between the two climbs. However the major action was in 2 places. The last 6 or 7 kms of the Col Du Tourmalet climb were the first breaking point as CSC rider Jens Voight pumped up the pace forcing Kirchen and may other favourites to be dropped. The race down into the valley offered little respite for these riders as they attempted to get back with the favourites, Evans, Sastre, Vandevelde, Menchov and Ricco.

Compassion Child Sponsoring

We had a chap from Compassion come and speak at church on Sunday. I videoed the last 13 minutes of his message with my phone. You can watch it on You Tube if you would like. I have also embedded them in here.

The young chap we have sponsored as a result is a little Indonesian boy. I hope as a result he can achieve a better life. Did you know 91 million children go to bed each night hungry?
