A bad Tour de France could be perfect training for a good Vuelta, what do you guys think?

Australia's Cadel Evans spoke of his autumn schedule on Sunday in Paris following a disappointing performance in the Tour de France. He hopes to take the world championship title September 27 in Mendrisio, Switzerland.

"My next race is probably going to be the Vuelta [a España]. I will ride some of it in preparation for the Worlds. It is only six kilometres from my home and is a pretty hard course," said Evans.
 
Its a good move by CE.

First of all from a cycling perspective a good Vuelta and/or a good Worlds will restore his confidence after what was a poor TDF for him.

Second, a good Vuelta/Worlds will showcase him for other teams who may be interested in hiring him.
CE needs to get to a team with better support for GT riders.
