Parrot23 said:Never seen such wheel sucking ever before--even if it's to win.
This make Leipheimer and Evans look like Spanish bullfighters, the tip of the spear.
Parrot23 said:No one should ever criticize Levi or Evans after this. No one. Not fair.

Parrot23 said:Has he pulled the whole race even once, other than TT and de Siusi (which hardly counts)?
I know who's gonna take his cake: A. Schleck and Contador.
Bala Verde said:Well why would you get bonus seconds in a regular stage, where you finish in the top three and (just) before someone else. If your specialty is TT, then you are kinda disadvantaged, because you do arrive somewhere faster then someone else, but you did not get the same bonus.![]()

Evans also won the fourth stage of Paris-Nice last year, although that was after sucking Gesink's wheel for a whileZoncolan said:Yes, Evans outsprinted Cunegoat Coppi e Bartali earlier this year.
Parrot23 said:Addition: even Armstrong has been pulling at the front numerous times this race, trying to create opportunities.
Parrot23 said:Evans attacks a lot now. Including vs. Menchov in the Dauphine.

Bala Verde said:Well he attacks because he is always behind, so he kinda has to. If Menchov would have been behind di Luca, I don't think the race played out the same.
It's strategy, but I doubt it's strategy to let evans ride behind someone, when he is in second place...
on top of that, Breuking has always been of the 'conservative' Indurain school. Win TTs and limit losses in the Mountains

Parrot23 said:Addition: even Armstrong has shown his nose at the front this race, and pulling at the front numerous times this race, trying to create opportunities, whatever.
