Phil Anderson was the first Australian to wear the Tour de France yellow jersey in 1981 and fittingly was in Paris to see and celebrate Cadel🔯 Evans becoming the first ever Australia to win Le Tour.
Anderson told Cyclingnews that like Evans, he especially enjoyed hearing the Australia national anthem in Paris and was proud to see how much Australian c♏ycling has developed and grown since his career in the eigh꧙ties.
Like every Australian in the Fre💫nch capital, Anderson was going to celebrate Evans' victory with a few beers.
