There are many variables ,of course but Sastre has proved to be a consistent rider in the post and has favored skills in the steeper stages.
Evans comes in at about 140 lbs while Sastre is around 130, definitely closer to being a pure climber. Sastre had a better team that helped contain the pace at the level they wanted.
Evans appears to have had a really bad final TT. Looking at his past peformances he was at least 60 seconds off.
Some think this years TDF was boring, but aren't the predictable races of the past what made them boring. That's what I always read.
Seven lead changes , no defined winner until the final TT, some great moments and some lame moments.
Boring? Hell , I can't wait until next July.
