    The winner on the alpe wins in Paris. That's the way it should be. Awesome.

    Yep, but you know Sastre will only be the 3rd man to ever do that! Coppi and Armstrong are the only others in the entire history of the TDF! (Of course, it hasn't been in that many TDF's.)

    Poor Frank. His own teammate took his yellow jersey and now he's been lapped by him too!

    Yup. He can't be enjoying these final 5k following Carlos.

    So will Evans talk to the media? If so, do we get a new youtube video?

    Bravo Carlos.

    A worthy winner of a stinker of a Tour de France

    I have to say, I wasn't 100% certain he could do it but Evans was clearly tired and we've seen this year that he's not ready for the pressure of being the yellow jersey.

    How long before Evans announces his departure from Silence Lotto? I'll give it a week.

    Something of an anti-climax. I was hoping that Evans could have clawed back 1'-33", then attacked tomorrow, on the Champs. :roll:

    I agree with you, Evans don´t deserve the victory, he was so defensive in Alpe

    Isn't that some kind of rocket? Put under him next time to make him attack.

    outcome still in doubt until last (real) day

    some good upcoming talent

    Why is everyone so down on the tour this year? Sure, it wasn't the most exciting ever and certainly nothing like Contador vs Rasmussen (which sucked because Ras was removed), but it's still fun to watch and the outcome was not decided until the 2nd to last day!
