I'm being pedantic, but it wasn't the Mont Ventoux. It was the Mont Serein. Very different
Nice video though

Ha...you're a tough guy. He 'wheelsucked' because he had popovych at the back competing for the GC remember? He was hell away at the GC and had no intend to help Gesink.

While true that whatever Evans tactics were, or the reasons for them, it ultimately doesnt matter as it worked out for Evans and he got the win - the fact that he did 'wheelsuck' Gesink did make it a less impressive victory, which is what I think Ruben's point is. (Aside from the fact that Ruben may still be bitter about it, who knows )
I do find it funny that in the paper after the first stage of the Tour of Romandie, there was an article about Evans and his preperations for the tour. It said that he had no intentions of winning the race, only participating in it to get a bit more fitness up his sleeve. I think he was lying.

Most likely, Maybe it's that the races he goes in he doesn't think he'll be considered a threat if he says he isn't going for it.
