Over 2,000 participants attended the Santos Tour Down Under’s signature event, the aptly named Legends’ Night Dinner at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Sat night. The event this year honoured cycling great Eddy erckx, who has been acclaimed as “the greatest and most successful cyclist of all time”, amassing five Tour de France and Giro d’Italia (Tour of Italy) wins, and one Vuelta a Espana (Tour of Spain). Merckx spoke highly of the TDU and South Australia’s magnificent scenery, comparing crowds on Willunga Hill (estimated at about 120,000 on the stage) to that of any of the great races in Europe. Pictured above enjoying the evening’s entertainment were some of the trade’s best know identities, Phil Hoffmann of Phil Hoffmann Travel with wife Alison (centre) & Robert Mackay, Venture Holidays managing director (right) with his wife Jane (left). |
