cadel wins world champs!

September 28th, 2009

In one of the biggest upsets in road cycling, Aussie Cadel Evans wins the rainbow Jersey in Switzerland only 3km from his European home. Evans made up for a disappointing Tour de France by winning the biggest race in cycling. Maybe it was the fact that he had a great team around him this time in that he had the best of the Australian riders in his corner. Riders like Stuart O’Grady and Michael Rodgers and Simon Gerrans [ who finished 10th]. Evans is the first Australian to win the the World Road champs. He will now get to wear the Rainbow jersey for the next year and also at the next world champs in Geelong.
