Targeting the TDF over the Dauphine this year then, presumably. He isnt in the same Dauphine form as last year, certainly

Evans posts a similar first check time to Brajkovic, 1'01 down, 1 second faster than the Slovenian
Edit: Wiggins 3rd, 21 down
And Thomas 4th at the finish. He gained 4 seconds on Martin between Check 2 and the finish.
Edit v2: Vino 1 minute down on Wiggins, Wiggins already moving into a strong provisional GC lead

Same time as Martin @ Check 2, at this rate it could be stage and GC lead for Wiggo

The French commentators were screaming it out so I didn't think it would need checking

Fair enough, Evans is a good descender, but still, that was horrible descending from Wiggins, not only the cobbled turn. |

Actually no. Probably the rain is helping and he's on strong allergy medicines but yesterday they only helped his breathing problems not his blocked nose. He was supposed to get some strong nose spray for today.
