The winner is based on Anna’s statistics
that a million people watched the great bike

0:00:08.349,0:00:15.349
race so a million people went to bed thinking
about this man, Michael Tomalaris.

Gerard is a top bloke, but there can only
be one winner. Look I came into SBS a long

0:00:35.329,0:00:41.620
time ago and I wanted Les Murrays job at the
time and I knew that that wasn’t going to

0:00:41.620,0:00:45.739
happen and then I wanted to take over the
world and that didn’t happen either. When

0:00:45.739,0:00:49.290
Cadel Evans came along and I got the impression
that he was going to win the Tour de France

0:00:49.290,0:00:54.510
well then I thought then that tops everything.
We had more than 1 million viewers for the

0:00:54.510,0:00:59.149
last three nights watching SBS at 1 o’clock
in the morning, incredible and the last time

0:00:59.149,0:01:04.059
I think that happened when SBS also covered
a great event the FIFA world cup in 2006 when

0:01:04.059,0:01:09.610
Australia played the Italian team.
This is very special because I work a very

0:01:09.610,0:01:15.110
special organisation. I have been very blessed
to be in a sport that has given me a lot of

0:01:15.110,0:01:19.810
enjoyment and I think it has given you a lot
of enjoyment as well and that gives me a lot

0:01:19.810,0:01:26.450
of happiness. Thank you very much to SBS thank
you very much to the Australian Sports Commission

0:01:26.450,0:01:28.400
and thank you very much to Cadel Evans.
