Evans puts disappointment of Tirreno-Adriatico into perspective

Starting the seven-day Tirreno-Adriatico as a candidate for the general classification, it quickly became clear Cadel Evans (BMC) would not be taking home another trident trophy like the one he secured in 2011. Rounding the week in 22nd overall, the Australian admitted he simply was not at the level of the general classification riders while adding his victory in 2011 came under far better weather conditions and on a course with shorter climbs.
