It requires you to believe his form would be the exact same 1 day and 2 weeks after a really big crash, and if you compare him to Menchov in the ITTs, who didn't make major crashes, he was within 10s of him in both ITTs.
Add in the fact that it's far from the only time Evans had dropped 2 minutes on an HC mountain, and I think it's a stretch to completely blame it on the crash.
There's also the fact that Sastre wasn't allowed to attack on the Agnello, and that Menchov lost a minute in 2 splits as well as crashing uphill.
