Ride Cycling News, Rob Arnold, 18 Juli 2014
As the peloton races towards its first rendezvous with the climbs of the Alps in the 101st Tour de France, Australian fans will be paying close attention to one man in particular.

Ride Cycling Revue, Rob Ride, 29 Juni 2013
“No matter what happens here, I’ve still had a great season so far,” said Richie Porte a day after arriving in Corsica for the Grand Départ of his third Tour de France.
