25 July 2011

Peter Lehmann Wines would like to congratulate the 34-year-old Australian cyclist, Cadel Evans, who became the first ever Australian to win the Tour de France after crossing the finishing line in Paris this past weekend. 

The Herald Sun reports, “He finished second on the stage behind German Tony Martin (HTC-Highroad), with former Tour champion Alberto Contador (SaxoBank-Sungard) third. In becoming the first Australian to win the tour, Evans' performance is sure to rank among the nation's greatest sporting achievements.”
