Congratulations, Cadel!

TrainingPeaks subscriber Cadel Evans took second place overall in this year's Tour de France, an impressive achievement by any standard. This was the second consecutive year Cadel has placed second overall.

On behalf of the entire staff at TrainingPeaks, we would like to offer Cadel our most sincere congratulations for this incredible accomplishment in the world's most challenging and prestigious cycling race. Cadel battled through rough weather and tough crashes to arrive on the Champs d'Elysees, where he represented his proud island nation, the land down under. Aussies lined the course in especially large numbers this year, cheering on their national hero on his way through the Pyrenees and the Alps, where he powered through some of the hardest rides ever included in the Tour de France.

TrainingPeaks is honored to work in support of Cadel and other members of the Silence Lotto cycling team, and we look forward to helping many more riders chase their dreams in the future, from Tour de France podium winners to people riding along the course looking for the perfect place to cheer.

Cadel is now focusing on the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where he hopes to medal in the time trial race and road race. Yell for Cadel in Beijing!
