He says they were the worst years of his career, he was isolated etc. Also says that there are always people who don't respect the rules but to him its important to do things fairly.

I guess he's saying he knew what was happening at T-Mobile-Pharmacy
Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    "Alas, his time with the rigid German squad was a disaster. He broke his collarbone four times in two years, was dubbed a 'peculiar guy' by Andreas Klöden, never rode a Grand Tour and suffered the shame of Jan Ullrich personally asking for Evans to be left out of the Tour team. "Cadel is a good climber, but doesn't have the experience. We had doubts that he would make it to the end of this difficult Tour," said T-Mobile general manager Walter Godefroot as to why Evans wasn't named"

    Yep, Walter that was definitely the reason Cadel was left off the Tour team.:roll:

    Did he win Austria that year?

    That might explain a few anger issues.

    Aw, to think we could have had another Aitor 'the traitor' Gonzalez situation, with Evans challenging Jan in the mountains. Bad Godefroot. :)

    Cadel's comments are not new. He's been asked several times since he T-Mobile days about his time there.

    And he's always been consistent in his thoughts.
