Alberto Contador may have conquered the 94th Tour de France, but there
are many who feel that Evans was the real star of the race.
<snip ><end>
I guess they do that because Evans is Aussie and cyclingnews.com is
Aussie.
Evans, the "real star of the race"? My strongest recollections of him
are of him getting dropped during some important moments and his post
race complaining of his team not having the budget to hire a rider who
could "close the gaps" for him.
Lame! An example of bike-racer-excusism at its finest.
thanks,
K. Gringioni.

Hey you are doing an injustice, he also had a good whinge
about the other teams not working hard enough for him on
one stage!

A rider can be a factor in a couple of ways: 1) they can make the
breaks themselves, or 2) others can attack to get rid of the rider in
question.
Evans was clearly a factor in the race because much of Contador's and
Rasmussen's attacks were aimed at distancing Evans. He was a factor.

Levi won a big stage, and you couldnt expect him to chase after
Contador
Perreiro at least went on the breakaway, dont remember how active he
was in it though...

Perreiro had the yellow jersey for an extended period. He was a real factor in the race.
Evans won one stage, a time trial, but really didn't initiate much action, directly or indirectly, otherwise.
Hats off to him, though -- he rode an excellent race, in my view.

He "initiated" a 3 second gain on a sprint stage :-)
Evans wasn't typically in a position, tactically or physically, to
initiate action because he was often forced to react to others.
Rabobank, Astana, Disco all had stronger mountain teams.

LOL. If he was second overall, I'd agree with you.

Felt bad for Horner when they asked him aobut Cadel's whining, but he
handled it well.
Has there ever been a rider as highly placed who was such a non-factor
in the race?
