Cadel Evans kicks the butt of the Italian and Spanish superstars in the Worlds … after great support from Stuey O’Grady, Simon Gerrans, Mick Rogers, Wes Sulzberger et al.

Cadel played out the last lap absolutely perfectly, and actually took advantage of a tiny tactical error by the Spanish. He responded to the Joaquin Rodriguez attack that was just supposed to be a softening up move for Sanchez or Valverde, and made it into the winning move.  Great tactical awareness combined with having the best legs gave him the chance for the daring escape on the final climb.

This was a win for the ages. Just brilliant.
