Clean break: The Cadel Evans diary

Cadel Evans crossed over from mountain bike racing to road in 2002 after a career on dirt that saw him twice win the World Cup series. His progress with Mapei-Quick Step last year was rapid, with a stint in the leader's jersey at the Giro d'Italia that had many tipping him as Australia's best ever talent. Nevertheless, he retains a down-to-earth perspective. In 2003 he signed for Telekom, and hopes to make up for what has thus far been an injury plagued season in the remaining months. Highlights include the Vuelta Espana, World Championships and Giro di Lombardia.
