Three Cheers to Alberto Contador. The 24 year old has done it what no one thought he could have before the tour began..


A superb experience. An awesome race(even with the doping, Vino provided us some superb moments, Rasmussen displayed superb performance, drugs or otherwise, this was a privilege to watch and enjoy...



Till Next Year!!!

Have to say that the right man has won it. The guy is so likable. He enjoys what he does(you have to just see the prize distribution ceremony to notice that)

At just 24, the guy has a great future, i dare say a Lance Armstrong in the making!!


After all the controversy, finally a great champion for Cycling has emerged from Spain!

Very well deserved and promising young champion.

He difinitely rode on his luck as Rasmussen was expelled, but he does not seem to be cheating or doping.

He is one of the part of young brigade which is takling over cycling domain, all the riders from this brigade have not been followers of the doping army so we can be assured that in the coming days cycling will be exciting.

The final sprint on Champs Elyeeses was not exciting as it was last year, especially as Robbie McEwen was not there.

Tom boonen looked too tired and was content with whatever lead he had.

Cadel Evans showed his temperament and sporting gesture when he did not contested for little time bonuses on offer as it is usually the unwritten code of conduct. :thumbs: :thumbs:

It was a nice experience following the tour here also even though very few people took interest. Hope the interest next year will be more

As this special race is over a set of fast races is looking for champion elsewhere so i am off to enjoy those

Till Next Year

But this guy also has a doping controversy to his name..... He wasnt allowed to take part last year...

No he was cleared of any doping charges. Five of his team mates ( he was with Liberty Seguros) were involved in Operation Puerto, so the team wasnt allowed to race.
