Australian cyclist Evans out for six weeks Australia's Cadel Evans of the Telekom team, who fell in
the weekend's Amstel Gold World Cup race, will be out of action for up to six weeks, his German
team said. Evans, from Katherine in the Northern Territory, is set to have an operation after
breaking his left collar bone in two places. The revelation of last year's Tour of Italy, when he
wore the leader's pink jersey, is expected to be back on rollers, which allow a cyclist to train
while the bike is in a fixed position, in a couple of weeks. The 25-year-old Evans, who came to
road cycling after winning a horde of mountain bike World Cup titles, is considered as a future
contender for the Tour de France, the world's biggest race which was won by American Lance
Armstrong for the fourth time in a row last July. He was also the 2002 Commonwealth Games
time-trial champion in Manchester, England.
