The energy and atmosphere from The Tour du France comes to the stage live at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe from the charismatic Australian 2011 winner Cadel Evans in his debut show Cadel:Lungs on Legs where he performs throughout on a bike while talking about his journey into becoming a cycling champion.

As Cadel arrives on the stage along with his racing bike everything is locked into place, checked and he leaps into the saddle and locks his feet into the pedals and the audience embarks on a ride I doubt they will ever forget.

The twists and turns of how he first found his love for cycling in the outback of Australia, how his childhood shaped him and the passion and determination it took to get him prepared for world class level racing.

The sweat and energy Cadel uses through his performance are impressive and he never appears out of breath once. The story of his racing defeats and the jubilation of his win leaves you in awe of his physique, stamina and self-control. The strict diet and exercise routines alone show his strength of determination.

One of the things that drew me to the production was the opportunity to see a winner of the Tour de France and obtain a better understanding of how they train, the fitness regime and what drove the initial passion to put yourself through the pressure and training to become a top athlete.

Cadel is one of the must-see shows to catch during this Edinburgh fringe, no other venue has a Tour de France winning cyclist performing this year in any of the other locations. A unique experience that gives audiences a chance to appreciate the skills it takes to become an athlete.
