Cardel Evans was able to make up some time on Carlos Sastre in the Tour de France but not enough to take the yellow jersey.  Evans needed 1 min 34 secs to take the lead however he was able to only make up 29 secs and remains more than a minute behind going into the final stage in Paris. 

The Australian Evans gave his all, however Sastre found that little extra to have the race of hs life in by far his best time trial.    Evans had a bad day and he needed to win the time trial to win the race and I think the battle in the Alps had left Evans drained.  Still a great perfrormace from the Australian.
