09.01.2022 Congratulations Richie! Richie Porte's story with Le Tour de France is inspiring and should be told in all cycling clubs. Richie worked as a super domestique for Chris Froome and helped him won the Tour de France. He then tried his luck as a leader and faced bad luck twice, falling and leaving the Tour early.... But Richie never abandoned his dream, and last night he stood on the Tour de France podium, doing is family, his friends and everyone in Australia immensely proud. This is what high performance, elite sport and sometime life is all about: believe in yourself, work hard and be resilient. "You just can't beat the person who never gives up", Babe Ruth. Bravo Richie!
