He's there to win the Tour de France, not entertain the gallery, and has turned himself inside out to (try and) do it. I suspect Evans' form is probably not quite as good as last year.
Sastre has really only put his face in the wind with a big attack once, on Alpe d'Huez. Same deal as Evans, he is riding to his strenghs
