Default Speaking of Evans

Several years ago, he had the reputation for having brittle bones. Has he
been crashing less or drinking more milk?

The problem was that he kept breaking the same bone - he didn't let it heal long
enough, perhaps.

"It's a goal he might have already achieved, but for a 2003 season punctuated by
broken collarbones (five to the left collarbone at last count)..."

As well as:

"Evans, who was practicing for the Tour de France together with the Belgian Mario
Aerts, crashed during a descent and is likely to have fractured his collarbone,
something which happened to him three times during the 2004 season."

In the latest Velo magazine, Evans credits PowerCranks with bringing
his hour power to 6.6 W/kg (440 watts).

He also says that road cyclists need a rounder power stroke than
MTB'ers.

It was when I read that article that I decided Evans wouldn't win the
Tour.
