When Cadel Evans won the Tour de France in 2011, he not only became a star to sports fans all over the world, but a hero to thousands of Australian children who watched him make his victorious ride through the Champs-Elysees. Children all over Australia had a new sportsperson to inspire them to achieve. Finally here is the inspirational autobiography of the cycling star, written for children aged 10-15 years. It's the Cadel Evans story: simple. Cadel was born with an incredible gift: the capacity and power that from youth set him apart from the rest.

Cadel Evans mastered mountain biking in his teens and subsequently became a world champion. Now in his 30s he is the winner of the toughest race in the world, the Tour de France. In Giving His Best we learn how Cadel Evans' passion, ambition and hard work led to his success.
