Wow, I am just so excited. Cadel Evans has won the World Championship Men's Road Race in Switzerland.
Cycling doesn't get much coverage in Australia and I am one of those mad people that sits up all hours in the middle of our winter to watch Le Tour de France for 3 weeks.
Cadel said “The world has been telling me for years I can't win big races, can't win one day races, because my job is to win stage races, and then today I come out and win the world championship. “I don't quite believe it.”

Well Cadel, I believe and it couldn't go to a more deserving rider. Your courage and true Australian grit and determination is inspirational. And long distance cyclists are the fittest, most underated sportsmen in the world. Now I love all sports - tennis, swimming, AFL, soccer, NRL, cricket and many more .... but cyclists are just amazing athletes.
Now all we need is a professional Australian cycling stage race team so you can leave Silence Lotto, and we can show the world how good Aussies are at cycling.
So this is my "Yell for Cadel". Way to go!
Now, how to get to Geelong next year for the world championships in 2010. Mmmmmm .....
