The 24-year-old signed a two-year deal with Drapac Professional Cycling team in March and is based in Belgium.
The Tour of Southland champion has been kept busy competing in events in Spain, Azerbaijan, Iran, Korea, Austria and Belgium.
The season got off to a slow start but a stage win on the Tour of Korea in June was an indication Evans is not too far off the pace.
"I had a tough start to the year with a lot of illness proving difficult to get rid of,'' Evans wrote in an email to the Otago Daily Times.
"Now, though, I have had consistency since the tours of Korea through to Austria.''
Opportunities can be "hard to come by'' for Evans. He is very much the junior and that means riding for the team and doing some of the donkey work.
"I often work on the front, get bottles and lead out into climbs or the finish. It is hard work and quite different to riding for a placing myself, where it is about conserving energy; instead, I use it all up.''
"My stage win in Korea was a great performance and showed I can back up at the end of the tour and win from a breakaway.
"The Tour of Austria was a good race for the team with two stage wins. [It was] incredibly mountainous, which made for a difficult race. The highlight was climbing the Grosslockner climb to 2700m altitude.
"I also recently had a good performance in Belgium [during a] one-day race. Despite being on bottle duty, I made the front selection of 30 from 200 riders.''
Evans is taking a brief break in Italy and spending some time with his fiancee, Holly Todd, who has made the trip over from Dunedin.
But next on the agenda is some more one-day races in Belgium, the Tour du Limousin in France and then the Tour des Fjords in Norway.
