Cadel Evans

[Chuffy]

Is it possible that Evans will be the least liked winner ever?
Assuming he does, of course...

 

[Renard]

True, he lacks charisma. What goes against him for me is that he is conservative in the race. I really don't want to see someone win the TdF who marks his competitors in the mountains relying on his timetrialling ability.

How long have you guys been following pro cycling?

I could write a list of unpopular riders who are/were successful for many reasons.

Thing is, Evans is a good rider.

He's also human - so he whines a bit, has a laugh, gets pissed off, has good days, does what he has to do, etc...

 

[Keith Oates]

If Evans wins he will have many supporters and some detractors, the same as any other past winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I doubt that! He has a long way to go before he can claim that honour! But he could be second

Yesterday, again on Belgian TV, Cadel headbutted a camera to avoid being interviewed. YouTube.

 

[rustychisel]

Belgians are like that. They bring out the best in people ;-)

He does live down to one stereotype - difference between an Aussie & a jumbo jet? The jet stops whining at Heathrow

Oooh, go on, who's the least liked then?

 

[Keith Oates]

Le Monde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Haitch]

What about Lance Armstrong, especially in France???????????????????

 

[LOGAN 5]

I feel sorry for his wife - must be hell being married to him.

 

[Renard]

You can say what you like about Armstrong but he honoured the jersey by attacking and winning stages.

 

[Haitch]

Indeed he did. No slur on Armstrong intended. But while he was attackinhg and winning he was also being abused and punched by French spectators.

 

[Keith Oates]

When you watched Armstrong you saw the Master at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
