Evans has finished 2nd in the TDF 2 times before however before winning. So you can't compare him to Pereiro. However Oscar did have to ride for Valverde in practically every TDF. And in 06 he did ride a smart race, somehow clinging on to guys like Menchov and Moreau most of the time. ( why didn't Valverde ride the TDF in 06??? ). Also the race would have been more exciting if Ulrich, Basso and Mancebo were there. Mayo disappointed as well.
Valverde i think will ride most of the Spanish races.
