The seventh edition of the Standard Bank Cyclist of the Year Awards Evening held at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg, South Africa yielded the expected results, with Barloworld rider Robert Hunter garnering the big prize as rider of the year. This is the fifth time he has won the award in the last seven years. One of the highlights of the evening was the auctioning of his stage 11 Tour de France stage winning jersey, won by the Colorpress head man Ryan Lotter. The funds raised will be utilised to assist two charities of Hunter's choice.
