World Champion

Someone get this man a picture with his stripes on!

This is something that should be done sooner rather than later. His year is moving around fast, and soon his strips may be gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thommo85 (talk • contribs) 12:07, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stage 13 at 2007 Tour

I have undone the changes some anonymous person made to my contribution. I don't see why it shouldn't be mentioned that Cadel Evans actually won a stage in this Tour? Because I do understand the change that person made about the "prestigious" Tour de Romandie (which is indeed not so prestigious after all), I saved that change. --Selach 13:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The ASO/Tour de France have not announced Evans as the winner of the 13th stage, even though Vinokourov tested positive. Until they do, he 'came second'. kju 15:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vinokourov has not yet been found guilt of doping. Until he is and is stripped of the win, it is "his". It is not correct to say Evans won the stage—yet. Severo^TC 21:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong info about Evans supposedly having assumed 2007 victory

At the end of the page, in Sporting positions one can read: "(assumed) Winner of the Tour de France 2007", what contradicts with the intro text "In 2007 Evans finished second in the Tour de France". Aiarakoa (talk) 18:12, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tour of Austria

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96sterreich_Rundfahrt Cadel Evans was winner in 2001 and 2004, but here only his 2004 victory is mentioned. I fixed the info in his palmares, but the maintainers of this article should also fix the wording elsewhere in this article to reflect his two victories in Tour of Austria, not one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.10.89.3 (talk) 14:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship with the media

Given Evan's growing noteriety following his attitude towards the media at the 2008 TdF, and actions including headbutting a TV camera, does this not deserve a section? I imagine it would be fairly easy to find references and quotes for this to remain neutral.Thaf (talk) 15:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this even relevant? Surely most cyclists/celebrities would have confrontations with the media/papparazi and this would be claimed to be gossip wouldn't it? pete (talk) 07:11, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:UCI Pro Tour.svg

The image Image:UCI Pro Tour.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Lotto Teamname

In the right section, the teamname for the Lotto-Crew is called Davitamon-Lotto. In Cadels last year with this crew, the team was called Silence-Lotto. I asume that the last team name should be mentioned.

This for both years, 2004 Team Telekom (called Team T-Mobile in 2004) and 2009 Davitamon-Lotto.

Not won Tour yet

This may seem a little petty, but he has not won the Tour de France until he crosses the finish line in Paris tomorrow. Miguel Indurain famously said that he hadn't won the Tour until Champs Elysées, because as he said "You never know if you hit a black cat crossing the road right in front of you". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.178.188.219 (talk) 16:02, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't agree with you more. If you believe there is anything in the article that implies otherwise, please point it out and I will rectify it. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 16:15, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
