HOLYmac! Michael Tomalaris is starting the ‘Mick for Pink‘ campaign tomorrow. ‘Mick for Pink’ refers to Michael Rogers’ quest to lead this year’s Girl d’Italia.

Go Mick! Go Mike!

Coat http://www.holymac.com.au/?p=181 Cycling abilities aside, Mick Rogers is also widely-regarded as absolute Toppie (that’s Aussie slang for “top bloke”). It looks like he’s leading the Twitter race between the Australian Pro Cyclists. Most of the big hitting Aussie Pros are on Twitter, including Robbie Mcewen, Cadel Evans, Allan Davis and Rory Sutherland (with Stuart O’Grady and Simon Gerrans being noticeable absentees).

But is there an Aussie Pro rider with more followers than Dodge (currently: 7,460)..?
