NEWS reports say Tour de France champion Cadel Evans will skip his home World Tour event, the Tour Down Under, to better his chance of winning next year's top-three titles.
Evans has an ambitious target of defending his Tour title, winning a second world championship and earning an Olympic gold medal in the same year.
Evans was quoted by The Adelaide Advertiser as saying January's Tour Down Under is "not a good fit" for a Tour de France contender. "I have a lot of expectations coming later in the season, so anything that compromises my performance there is not something I can consider."
