Cadel Evans |
Cadel Evans was the first Australian to win the Tour de France cycling race.
Cadel Lee Evans was born 14 February 1977 in Katherine, Northern Territory and went to Eltham High School. We now proudly claim Cadel as a Melburnian as he calls Barwon Heads home along with his family.
Cadel won the 2011 Tour de France, racing with the UCI ProTeam BMC Racing Team.
Tour de France - Stage 20
Saturday, 23 July 2011
On his web site he wrote.. Shorter stage....longer day - that's ok! Plan was, ride fast from (a) 'depart' to point (b) 'arrive'.... Couldn't get the stage win but, it was great for GC. Surreal even.... A huge thank you to everyone involved in this project, from team mates on the road, my teammates in the cars/trucks plane and bus around the race, the engineers at BMC, the management in the offices in Switzerland, Belgium, Australia, California.
My coaches past and present, and all those who helped me to get here today; masseurs, physio's/osteopaths, orthopaedic surgeons (!), all the Aussie flag bearers; kangaroos, koala's, surflife savers, Collingwood supporters (*) and that nutty 'Crikey Cadel' crocodile (very original).
I hope you enjoyed the ride thus far. I know I have! (*) I don't have anything against supporters, you just stand out like dogs ..... In Europe.
We can be proud of it, Julia told me herself!
