Aussie hopeful laments TTT outcome

Tour de France contender Cadel Evans isn’t underestimating the challenge that lays ahead if he’s to ride back into contention at this year’s event. Evans’ Silence-Lotto squad dropped 2:36 minutes to general classification favourites Astana on yesterday’s Team Time Trial, with the Australian saying bad luck and pressure took a toll on his young team.

“As expected, Astana put in a great ride, which puts me at 2:59 - not a position I wanted to be in,” Evans wrote on CadelEvans.com.au. “Still close to guys like Andy Schleck and Carlos [Sastre], but a long way behind the favourites of Astana. I certainly have my work cut out for me now.”
