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.
