TOUR de France champion Cadel Evans says he's keen to put his hand up for the 2012 London Olympics - but he only expects to be selected if the course is hard enough.
The 34-year-old Australian is back at his Switzerland home, experiencing a whirlwind few days as he weighs up the many offers, requests and options that victory in cycling's biggest race brings.
His breakthrough triumph has prompted a wholesale review of his schedule for the rest of the year as he also starts looking at next year's program.
Evans would be a major Olympic drawcard if he made the Australian team for the London Games.
He wanted to attend a pre-Olympics meeting on Monday at the Australian cycling base in nearby Varese, Italy, but could not arrive in time after post-victory commitments on Sunday.
A major issue is whether the Olympic road race and time-trial courses will be hard enough to suit Evans's strengths.
''I wanted to go and look into those details - to be honest, I don't know if the course is going to be suitable,'' Evans said.
''But if I can be the man for the job to represent the country, of course I would love to ride. If it's a course more suitable to someone else, then it should be for someone else.''
The Olympic road events in London will come only days after Evans completes his Tour de France title defence.
He saw that as no disadvantage, but said there were other factors to consider as well.
''The timing falls well for us as tour riders - there's also an interesting world championships course in 2012 and a few other things,'' he said.
''We have to prioritise and choose our goals, but Tour de France 2012 is going to come around really quickly.''
Evans was also unsure whether he would now contest this year's Vuelta a Espana (Tour of Spain) - like the Tour de France, a three-week grand tour - starting on August 20.
''We always had the Vuelta as an idea, but I wanted to decide on that after the tour, based on performance at the tour,'' he said. ''It's also about planning for 2012 at this stage.''
