Evans won one stage, a time trial, but really didn't initiate much
action, directly or indirectly, otherwise.


He "initiated" a 3 second gain on a sprint stage :-)

Evans wasn't typically in a position, tactically or physically, to
initiate action because he was often forced to react to others.
Rabobank, Astana, Disco all had stronger mountain teams.

Has there ever been a rider as highly placed who was such a non-factor
in the race?


Levi


LOL. If he was second overall, I'd agree with you.

Óscar Pereiro?


No, he went in a long distance break.

Alberto Contador may have conquered the 94th Tour de France, but there
are many who feel that Evans was the real star of the race.

I guess they do that because Evans is Aussie and cyclingnews.com is
Aussie.


Evans, the "real star of the race"? My strongest recollections of him
are of him getting dropped during some important moments and his post
race complaining of his team not having the budget to hire a rider who
could "close the gaps" for him.




Hey you are doing an injustice, he also had a good whinge
about the other teams not working hard enough for him on
one stage!
