Australia’s Evans to ride for BMC Racing Team

Peter Joachim is a confirmed IDIOT POSTER.

Another site is reporting that Evans has signed for three years with BMC. Another bad decision by Cadel Evans. He is a Grand Tour rider; his decision to sign with the Belgian Silence-Lotto team was a head-scratcher five years ago because they are and always will be a team built for the Classics. Now he's given the opportunity to sign with a team that can support him in a Grand Tour, and what does he do? Signs with another Classics team! Don't get me wrong; Hincapie, Ballan, Kroon, etc., are good riders, but BMC (like Evans' previous Silence-Lotto team) has nobody to help him in the high mountains, where he has been isolated without teammates for years and has absolutely zero chance of defending any leaders' jersey in a race of that type should he earn one.

I don't understand this move at all. He should have just stayed with his old team; at least they have a ProTour license and are guaranteed entry into the Grand Tours.

Why even print it if that's all you have. but typically yahoo. yahoo news loser!

If Cadel Evans had such a strong team, then where were his teammates in the 2008 TDF(I believe) when he was alone with the Schleck brothers in a tough mountain stage?

Good luck to Cadel. It will be interesting to see how he performs on a stronger team. I hope he is going to go to a stronger team!

I tend to agree that Evans is a douchebag...and a wanker too! He's whined his way along for 5 years with a team more dedicted to the classics than the Tour -- a bad choice on Cadel's part to stay with that team dynamic. Cadel sucks with the media as well! -- little coaching there would go a long way. I am jazzed for Cadel and his rainbow stripes, which seem to have given him a huge boost in his confidence (and marketability!) Look for Cadel to be with the BMC team for 2010...you heard it here first!

All through the Tour De France 09 people were saying Cadel needs a new team, stronger support, now he is doing it and gets criticised!

To 'Kurt S'...the team didn not seem supportive from management all the way down to the riders. Cadel got sick too, he is human!!

See what Cadel did in the Worlds with a hard working Aussie team!

Good luck to him - why not change when you are having a win!

Dude had a STRONG team this year in the Tour and never sniffed to podium. He always had teammates up the road from him in the mountain stages and he couldn't even hang with them.

Dude is a douchebag.

I was a bigger Cadel fan before seeing the videos of him wigging out during interviews and when people touched his dog. But I still hope he ends up on a stronger team, because he is a talent. Two straight 2nds in the TdF on his old team is pretty impressive. What a great 4 or 5-way dogfight if he lands on a stronger team.

OK guys, before you say anything. When I wanted to post that first message, it said that they could not post it, so I tried again, and guess what, it came on again.

Ok guys, this should be interesting. I guess he realized that he needed a better team if he wanted to ride with the big boys and maybe Silence Lotto just couldn't come up with the right guys. Wonder where he will go??
