HE'S not in tip-top shape but in an ominous warning to rivals, Cadel Evans has revealed he is approaching peak form as he prepares for a crack at a maiden Tour Down Under win.
The 2011 Tour de France champion is the marquee rider in the 16th edition of the Australian Tour which is scheduled to begin on Tuesday and run through to Sunday.
Whether the first stage through the scenic Barossa Valley will be run is still up in the air with the area near the centre of a bushfire crisis.
Race director Mike Turtur will make a final decision on whether the opening stage will go ahead later today after consultation with the appropriate authorities.
The headline act of the BMC Racing team, Evans has indicated he wants a top showing in Australia ahead of a season he hopes will deliver him a spot in history as Australia's first ever Giro d'Italia champion.
"For now, it's really coming back together," he said.

"It's frustrating, especially when you don't know what's holding you up, but I'm training well, recovering well and so far racing okay as well
"I just want to get back to my old level and if that can bring some good results ... that's important.
"I've had a fair share of setbacks.
"I'm getting there - still not there, but getting there."
Following changes to harden up the course, the opening three stages of the Tour Down under boast climbs shortly before the finish.
The fourth stage appears better suited to a sprint finish with the fifth stage the toughest of the race.
The Queen stage boasts a summit-finish on Old Willunga Hill which is expected to determine this year's winner of the Tour Down Under.
The finale is a crowd pleasing 85km street race in Adelaide.
