Great gesture from all parties. That's what makes the sport great.

Sounds like the spectators bike computer was still on the bike, so he got a nice Strava for Corkscrew Hill! Cool.

very refreshing and needed

Whats funny is farrar says "how nice people in austrailia are" but the fan was a new zealander...

[Boerklong]

Great stuff

I'm just glad the race directors didn't pull a Giro stunt and penalise Farrar. Not because he rides for DD but for the sake of the sport, we need these good sportsmanship gestures to grow in our cycling world.

Very Cool.

Thought this might happen when I heard about it.

Wont mind a set of their kit.

[Patchelicious]

Rules are rules, they should give the spectator a time penalty!

[Guest notmyname]

That's a pretty sick ride.

Dangerous precedent set by bending the rules.....

When I visisted Australia, by far the most friendly bunch were the New Zealanders that came over to watch the rugga...
