That TT is pretty short tho’...
How much time do you think a very good TTer like Evans could put into a decent TTer like Schleck over a 26 mile course?

Right now Andy has only 57 seconds on Evans. That is something he can take back with no trouble in 26 miles. Evans is much better against the clock. Of course the variable still in the way is stage 19 tomorrow. Alpe D-Huez brings out special emotions in riders because of it's history and just to make things interesting they have reversed the direction for tomorrow and will traverse the Galibier once again at the half way point.
Voekler will be riding his heart out in the TT and can probably best Schleck, too. His challenge will be one more super performance in the climbs tomorrow. He is going to need support and Pierre Rolland who did a great job today seems to be his only team member who is up to the task of going with the moves.
