Question on tactics
I'm basing this question on Monday's results with Evans a second ahead of Schleck. And for this question, let's say Sastre is not in the picture.
Here are my questions is "Why is Evans at such a big disadvantage because he's on a weak team?"
If Voight and Cancellara lead a hammerfest for Schleck, can't Evans just stick on Schleck's wheel? It seems like Voight and Cancellara will be leading Evans up the hill, as much as they're helping Schleck.
If some non-GC contender attacks, so what? Can't Evans just let him go. If some other GC contender attacks, the CSC guys have to cover it since Schleck has got as much to lose as Evans?
In other words, doesn't Evans just have to watch the other GC contenders and he can forget about who's helping them?
Thanks,
Cliff
