Cycling: Homecoming for Cadel Evans

Cadel Evans is to visit his native Australia on a flying visit to celebrate his win in the Tour de France.

Evans, who became the first Australian to win the coveted title when he crossed the finish line on the Champs Elysee, will visit Melbourne on August 12.
His visit will include a parade through the city and a short bike ride.
Evans wrote on his website, www.cadelevans.com.au: "From here, it looks like we will be coming to Australia
for a very short time - it will be my first time home during the season for a while, other than for competition. Looking forward to that."
After visiting Australia Evans, who has re-signed for the BMC team until 2014, will head for the United States to take part in the inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge from August 22-28.
