Evans takes Ventoux
Cadel Evans confirmed his form is good on Mount Ventoux, taking the latest mountain stage of Paris-Nice. Gesink, 2nd on this stage, leads overall – but for how long? GC is again shaken up, Evans riding in support of Popovych and helping him up the leaderboard, now just 42 secs in arrears. Sanchez and Chavenal both cracked on the climb and lost time – too much to recover. Rebellin and Popovych look like the chief contenders now.
