Will Evans let Teejay take the alpha dog position if it warrants?
That (for me) will be the question of the year. I can't wait to see how it unfolds. Evans is a tour winner (2011) and that gives him rightful claim to team leader. But, last year when Wiggins took yellow, Evans finished in 7th place over 4 minutes down from teammate Tejay who was in the top five. Tejay was only 21 years old. I don't remember the particulars of the difference in time, but my guess is it came in the mountains since Tejay would not be chasing down or, riding in a break without his captain.
If Tejay has it he may get the nod to try for a stage win at some point and my guess it will be while going uphill. If he were to take the legs out of everyone and pull off one of those epic rides like we used to see from guys like Richard Veranque he could get such a gap that the team would have to go to work to take him to Paris.
That's all pipe dream stuff, but that's why the tour is so special, in my book.
