There was no mechanical. Evans got dropped, plain and simple.
The video footage doesn't lie. He clearly was already at his max when Frank got dropped.
He did say in an interview that he was on the revert, but he said he could not work out why as he felt ok.
Anyway history tells us that the Mechanical or " Mechanical" which ever camp your in was a positive for Evans.
Funny thing watching the video Fränk should be happy Evans came back to the group only reason he did not lose 15 min on the stage -image if Evans, Contador and Andy stayed away.
