Cadel Evans has ended any speculation that would miss the national road championships on Sunday by officially announcing he will take place in the event. With this confirmation it is expected that a capacity crowd will be in attendance to watch the 2009 World Champion join a field of over 150 riders tackling the 183.6km race over 18 laps of the 10.2km for the first time since 2005.
