This is the thread for the champion of champions.
He defied all odds and won le tour at the age 34
Winning the worlds too what a champion!
He chased on the galibier like a possessed man.
Chasing the next day after a mechanical
Winning on the bretagne beating the emperor gilbert
Coming close to a heroic time by martin
lets all bow down to a true hero

For our majesty Cadel Evans!

On his schedule it says he will do it. But he might change it after winning le tour. Hope he does it as he can do the double.

He very well could, but I don't think he'd be competing for the win there, maybe the podium, but not the win.

However, if he comes down to Australia after the tour (as he should), that doesn't give him too much time to rest up before the Vuelta start. My thought is that it would be better for him to build up and see what he can do in Lombardia.

come on..
he just rode an insane race. That race is in just a few weeks. Less then the giro tour break. And look what happened to AC. There is being a realistic fanboy and being a blind fanboy.

Anton, Scarponi. Nibbles, Jrod etc are all riding in what should be top form...

I can see Contador doing it next year if he doesn't get banned. Anton will probably **** up anyway, he'll win his first GT when he's 34. He's the new Cadel(Andy is Poulidor)

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you
 
I didn't know Scarponi was riding. Thats great, maybe Cunego could go as well to win a stage in the hilly last week.

Cadel epic ride, long time coming. Great career and this is your moment.

Lol at yellow Coldplay. Are they an Aussie band??? ( should know but yeah )

I am not being blind even before le tour a lot of people stated that he could win the vuelta. After yesterday a lot of people have been saying he could do the double. I agree it will be hard to win the race against his fresher rivals. But cuddles always has pretty good form when he enters a race, he doesnt enter a race like the schlecks. He has a chance of winning it but it will be very hard considering the fatigue. However it depends if he will enter the race since he just won le tour and might be celebrating or content with his season.

Are they going to give the Cadel an OAM like they did for the English when they won the Ashes? Paul Collingwood had an average of around 10 with the bat in that series and got an OBM.

Cuddles can win the uci ranking this year!
Too bad he wont be able to win Velo d'Or as it will be given to a well deserved gilbert.

lol this post shows how much of a blind fanboy you really are.

but hey I guess cuddles has a much better recuperation rate then even contador. :rolleyes: Even tho vuelta has even less rest time, and the competition there hasn't ridden the tour.

if cuddles wins vuelta I'll see you in the clinic :)

I'd have to agree. This years route was super tough and the fact that the vuelta is a week earlier this year will make things very very hard.

Maybe a stage win and working for the team to get some other wins would be a good thing to takeout of la vuelta.

He may not do la vuelta now and just do some end of season classics and stage races.
