My thoughts as well. And Andy "sits in" as best you can on such a stage. I think that they have to do this to make Evans work as hard as possible tomorrow to limit his ability to get a huge amount of time back in the TT on Saturday.

Worst case I sit up, best case he cracks trying to grab my wheel, 2nd best is I go and grab a lot more time. I just don't think he had it in him to sustain an long attack against Cadel's pace, which was damn hard.
Cadel showed me a lot in his chase today. This time TV got paid back big time and it saved the MJ for him for yet another day.
