ANNONAY, FRANCE — After a tense and trying ride in the Alps on Thursday, Cadel Evans sat comfortably in the saddle on Friday and tried to rest his legs. At 35 years old, he needs all the strength he can muster — this may be one of his last chances to repeat as Tour de France champion.
Evans’ young BMC Racing teammate Tejay van Garderen, however, has plenty of time to win this race.
Riding next to his team leader during Friday’s relatively calm stage 12 — won by David Millar of Garmin-Sharp — van Garderen, clad in the white jersey worn by the race’s best-placed young rider, could take stock of all that has occurred so far in his second Tour de France.
