You would think, given his love of little lions, that he would do what he could to get another one. Apparently not.
Runitout is right: it shows tactical timidity. I think he is comfortable, so he won't change. Just as he hasn't shed his old Mapei connections, he won't risk branching out from Belgium. Evans fans can comfort themselves that this year was his best shot and he didn't have enough: I don't think this decision will cost him a win, because I don't think he can win after this year anyway.
