Australian legends Robbie McEwan and Stuart O'Grady have their own story of knocks and bruises as they both contended the Green Jersey at Tour De France for opposing teams that brought on a rivalry second to none between battling Aussie cyclists. At times the pair were so engrossed in their own battle to out do each other, they seemed oblivious to the hundred odd European riders trying to get past them as they went head to head to cross the line for honours in the sprint category.
Joined by the coach of the Green Edge Cycling Teams Mitchelton Scott, the four will chat about their times together living in Europe and the ups & downs of those journeys, and will also be talking to special guests Mark Reid, the Invictus Games cycling coach along with a couple of the athletes that are going to Sydney in 2018 to compete in the games.
The Invictus Games is an international adaptive multi-sport event, created by Prince Harry, in which wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and their associated veterans take part in sports
This is a fun and informal night that will give you a real insight into the Cycling World with plenty of comedy and laughs. Jens is hilarious and we bounce of each other like brothers while the introduction of Robbie and Matt will spice up the night with plenty of digs at their former Crédit Agricole rivals.
Q & A will follow plus we will auction off a couple of items signed by Jens, Stuart, Robbie and Matt.
