Cadel Evans (Predictor-Lotto) showed a vast amount of experience
as he struggled to maintain his classification position. The
Aussie couldn't hold the wheels of the lead group, and lost
1'22 to an aggressive Carlos Sastre, and slipped from
second to third overall, but limited his losses enough to
hold his podium spot.

Yes he's very experienced at losing times on climbs.

and getting it back on time-trials. See what happens this afternoon.

Right, and the fact that he gets tired does put him in a favorable
light when it comes to what is killing pro cycling, i.e. doping !

No he's not. He's making a strategic play to attack from the rear, by
proving (in losing) that he's not doping. He's probably scared out of his
mind that, if he has too good a day, people will suspect him!

So how does one definitively lose (to prove a point) and yet win the race
overall?
