This week many of Armidale’s residents have been celebrating the massive achievement by Cadel Evans, who just took out the winning title in the Tour de France, making him the first Australian to ever come first place in the famous French tournament.

 

Cadel Evans grew up in Armidale and it is even believed that Cadel credits our region as the inspiration for his sport.

 

I think it’s safe to say that everybody in the community is extremely proud of Cadel’s win and the Armidale Dumaresq Council have invited Cadel to attend a civic reception in his honour, when he next returns to Australia and his home town.

 

It’s extremely inspiring to see such great achievements coming from someone from our region and it goes to show that great things can happen from those who grow up in Armidale.

 

Congratulations to Cadel from everyone at Professionals Armidale, and we hope to see you back in your home town someday very soon.
