Cadel Evans’s historic victory on the Tour de France Sunday allowed Australia to become only the 12th nation to be represented on the race’s victory list.

He is also only the third non-European to win the race after Americans Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong.

From 98 editions the countries to have won the race are:
36: France
18: Belgium
13: Spain
10: United States
9: Italy
4: Luxembourg
2: Netherlands, Switzerland
1: Germany, Australia, Denmark, Ireland
