Might not be the most exciting to watch, but he surely qualifies as a nice bloke.

Cadel Evans is not a big hit in European circles but on these pages he could do no better. I first watched him explode on the scene at the Giro when he got the Pink Jersey. Unfortunately he exploded on a mountain stage soon after.
Every time I've read articles on him or seen him comment on TV he is usually a bit of an old winger. He is abrupt, big headed and a misery. He slates his team and is a one off. I can't see what the attraction is. If you want an Aussie I would choose Alan Piper over him any time.
Any other Aussie come to that.
Cheers Jerry
