On the first of the Giro's many mountain stages in its final week, Evans rode well and stayed with the leaders through the Monte Grappa climb. He did not follow Nibali's aggressive descent of the mountain, and finished with Ivan Basso and Michele Scarponi 23 seconds back. This result moved Evans back into the top ten overall for the first time since the huge time loss in stage 11. The next day, Evans rode most of the climb of Monte Zoncolan with Basso, but he was dropped shortly before the summit, conceding over a minute to the Italian. The result did, however, move him up to fifth overall, and into the points classification lead. Evans was again second the next day, behind Stefano Garzelli, in the climbing time trial to Plan de Corones. In stage 19 to Aprica, Evans finished with the second group on the road, which tried in vain to lead then-race leader David Arroyo to the finish line fast enough to keep him in the pink jersey. After this stage, Evans was fifth overall, trailing Scarponi for fourth by a minute and 11 seconds. In stage 20, on the final ascent of the Passo del Tonale, Evans put in an attack to try to win back sufficient time to get him on the podium. Though he got yet another second place and firmly secured his victory in the points classification, he took only 9 seconds out of Scarponi as a result of the move. In the final time trial in Verona, Evans again rode well, finishing fourth at 22 seconds behind stage winner Gustav Larsson. Evans also won the Azzurri d'Italia classification. The team finished 17th in the Trofeo Fast Team standings and seventh in the Trofeo Super Team.
