Now we play the waiting game...

On Friday we submitted our application for the ultimate job reporting from the Tour de France for CyclingTips. We reckon our entry was pretty good and we hope the judges think so as well.

According to the CyclingTips website, the process for selecting the winning team will be as follows:

Once entries are closed we’ll go through all the applications we've received and narrow it down to a shortlist. Then we’ll call up everyone on the shortlist for an informal interview. And finally, late next week hopefully, we’ll announce our winners.

So today we're waiting by the phone like an angsty teenager after a first date, or a newly-recruited pro cyclist hoping to get on a team for their first grand tour. It's a nervous time indeed...

"Why won't you ring already?"

Of course we must be patient, but hopefully the rainy weather in Melbourne yesterday gave the judging panel a good opportunity to sit inside and review all the entries. Time will tell whether we have made the cut.

We'll keep you posted on our progress, but in the meantime, keep pedaling.
