Speculation has started as to Cadel Evans' team for the coming season, with Sportwereld.be claiming to have exclusive information that the World Champion will sign with the Professional Continental BMC Racing Team.

Team Silence-Lotto announced Saturday night that the Australian was leaving the team one year before his contract expires. The team admitted to being surprised by Evans' action, and has started the search for a replacement.

Evans has not yet commented on the move.
