Cadel Evans on Watch Collecting and Winning the Tour de France!

Cadel Evans is the greatest Australian cyclist of all time, a four-time Olympian and Tour de France winner, who is a passionate ambassador for the sport. He's also a watch collector.

Cadel Evan's interest in watches started at a young age when he 'just wanted a watch that was waterproof'. That interest exploded when, as a professional cyclist, he found himself based in Neuchâtel. But Evans wasn't spending his time looking in boutique windows; he was busy riding up and down hills and training for the Tour de France, a race he won in 2011, the first Australian, and one of only three non-Europeans to earn the yellow jersey. To celebrate this win, Jean-Claude Biver gifted him a unique yellow Hublot, a watch which has a place of pride in his collection, sitting alongside Patek Phillipe, Panerai and more than a few Rolex models. We talk to Evans about why time is more important than distance in training, his take on the 2020 Tour de France, and what he thinks about wearing Richard Mille while racing. Regardless of whether or not you're into cycling, you're into a for a ride in our chat with Cadel Evans.
