Thomas Voeckler may not be challenging for the yellow jersey this year, but the little Frenchman still knows how to ignite the Tour de France.

Evans looked as if he was biding his time today. His sprint to the finish line was the only time he put in an effort. The chances were he was saving his energy for tomorrow. What might be alarming the Australian is that he was isolated in the lead group. Tejay Van Garderen, the next best climber in BMC, was dropped when the group was riding tempo and was never in a position to help. If Evans is going to mount a challenge for yellow over the next two days in the mountains, he's going to have to do it all by himself.
