He came first in the second TT of the Tour. And he would have come first in all the others if it wasn't for one rider in each of those races.

No I'm not. I would have called you a poof if that was the case.

What was this thread about again? Oh yeah. I don't think Evans is the new Zabel. Zabel is more of a sprinter. Whereas Evans is more of a tool.

I look at the big picture. Besides, Zabel is 53 years old.

Zabel wins. Even in his twighlight years (like the last 8 years) he has a pretty impressive record. He may not be the faster sprinter anymore or at any point in his career. But he knows how to win races.
