As Australia's greatest cyclist, Cadel Evans really needs no introduction. But in short, he was the first Australian to win a Tour de France (2011), the UCI Pro Tour and UCI Road World Championship. He is also a four-time Olympian and Commonwealth Games gold medallist among many other accolades.

In this fascinating chat, Cadel talks about:

• What he has learned from his time as a professional cyclist
• His thoughts on the current athletes in the sport, the use of sports science and how this has been influential in the development of athletes
• The 2011 Tour de France win, how this impacted his life, the moments leading up to the winning day in Paris.
• The penultimate Time Trail and how that was such a defining moment in the tour that year, what were the messages from the team, coaches and staff.
• His relationships with his ex teammates and staff
• His work with BMC Switzerland and how the brand powers their global ambassador program through athletes
• The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, where was the idea generated and how has his time in world tour cycling shaped the vision and design of this event.
• What life after cycling looks like
