20090927 Cycling Worlds Elite 2009 - Cadel Evans Wins (HD)

I haven't seen much of this race, and as an aussie, I was thrilled to hear Evans had won, but this looks like an absolute CRACKER of a race!!

This was the first time I respected Cadel Evans strategy. All other courses he was too passive. He's now favourite to win the Tour de France 2011.

incredible evans

@numero96 also I don't know if you saw the Olympic road race in Beijing, in the final stages Cancellara chased down a 2-3 min lead group on his* own in the tunnel for the final 5km and did a sprint finish to gain a third place finish, now that's impressive, don't you think?

[chotsmagic]

@numero96 I think Cancellara was out of it as soon as they went through the climb, no body wanted to do the work to chase the lead group, in the video you mostly see Cancellara doing most of the pulling up front.... can't expect a non climber to have the power to both chase the lead, and over power Cadel on the final bit... its pretty hard to achieve without support from other riders.

@numero96 I think you're a bit harsh on Cancellara, the final 10 mins of the race is a bit of a climb in case you haven't noticed, This course was more suited for riders like Evans to ride it out in the hills and beat everyone, its his job to climb well. Cancellara on the other hand is a Time trialist, having a few extra pounds in him so that he can produce the amount of power that he does in a time trial, he's not the best climber by a long shot.

Cadel demonstrates his true grit and character. Great Australian champion - with heart.

Grande cadel!!!

One of the rare displays of agressive riding from Cadel, sadly happens once in a blue moon

[raff23]

showed in this race that he is good enough if he has a go. Up the mountains on the tour de france is the next biggest challenge for him, needs to show he can do exactly the same thing if he to gain more admiration.

I love how emotional Cadel is at the end! Well done!

One of the greatest sporting achievements by an Aussie this decade, and no coverage on TV or radio whatsoever. Thanks god for Youtube! Well done Cadel, your an inspiration and a brilliant rider!

aussie aussie aussie- take the teams out and cadel is unbeatable.

[spesnatz]

I reckon the spokey dokeys helped, and watching the BMX Bandits the night before was all he needed!

[Jaimeedu]
