Cadel Will Win The Tour

The Yapper

After watching Cadel Evans hang tough during another grueling stage of the Tour de France, I'm convinced the Aussie will win this year's event. Despite the best efforts of team CSC to wipe Cadel off the side of the Alps, the lad from Barwon Heads gritted his teeth and finished with Frank Schleck to remain eight second off the lead. With a time-trial just around the corner, Cadel is perfectly placed to blow his rivals away and win the event.

Having watched most of this year's Tour, I'm convinced now more than ever before that there are few, if any, other events in the world as tough as this one. Three weeks of cycling up and down mountains is not an easy task.

If Cadel wins this year's Tour, I'm prepared to rate it as Australia's greatest ever individual performance in an event (not over a career).

Yapper if he can stay within 30 secs of the yellow jersey tonight he has it sewn up. But the Alpe de Huez has scared Cadel before and if you have a look at the interview with him on SBS tour de france website i think you will see he might be worrying a little.

He will be riding by himself again tonight popovych may be there but two against a strong csc team lets just hope he sticks on Schlecks wheel the whole day.

Yep, that will be his aim. His ride last night was fantastic. Funny though, he's more worried about Menchov than Schleck. I think he'll hang tough tonight and get the job done.

Yapper. I've never been in to cycling but having watched it a bit this year I'm hooked - like many other Aussie's have been cheering Cadel on in the wee hours. I reckon i agree - best ever individual event performance if he wins.

Mate - he rode bloody well but without a team he is stuffed. I have told you that for a week. The CSC boys don't want to blow him away until they really can. Remember they are trying to get 2 lads on the podium - and then there is brother Andy!

Spewing Andy S held onto the white jersey, i was hoping that bloke that had a blinder of a time trial would catch him. Good year for Luxembourg cycling! Sucks that OGrady was in team CSC, seemed like he was a big part of Sastre's win.
