Cadel Evans hitting form ahead of Vuelta

Australian Cadel Evans won the final stage of the Tour of Utah as Tom Danielson successfully defended his title.

Australian Cadel Evans proved he's rounding into form ahead of the Vuelta a Espana, winning his second consecutive stage at the Tour of Utah on Sunday as Tom Danielson successfully defended his title.

Former Tour de France champion Evans, who is tuning up for this month's Vuelta a Espana, won a sprint out of a five-man breakaway ahead of Wilco Kelderman and Winner Anacona to capture the mountainous seventh stage.

Danielson followed a few seconds later, waving to the crowd in Park City as the Garmin-Sharp rider celebrated his second overall win. The victory should give Danielson a big confidence boost as he heads to the USA Pro Challenge in Colorado.

Jure Kocjan won the points competitions as the top sprinter, while Joey Rosskopf was awarded the king of the mountains jersey. Dylan Teuns was best young rider.
