Congratulation Cadel Evans

Much has been said and written about Cadel Evans since he came second in the 2007 edition of the TdF. Outside of Australia, much of that commentary has been derogatory, and most, if not all, unfair. To be sure he doesn't have the grace of Andy Schleck, the power of Cancellara, nor the climbing brilliance of Contador - in fact it is often painful to watch Cadel. It wasn't pretty when Cadel attacked yesterday on Novazzano but it was awesome. Congratulations Cadel, you deserve this success. With the rainbow jersey, hopefully you will get greater respect from the press.


PS - Shouts out to the rest of the Australian team. It was awesome effort by all.
