Contador not in yellow on rest day

Usually, on the rest day, the guy in yellow wears the yellow jersey around but Contador wore his regular jersey. But man does he look happy and relaxed for the first time!

Contador has class and no grandiose illusions. A champion to admire.

Yep a superb victory salute. You getting sick of it? We are going to see it again and again over the years to come.

No point creating unnecessary laundry. And he's not going to be wearing those Astana jerseys in the race again, so he might as well get some use out of them.

Not many people can say they have one of these at home...in fact there are only 5 people in the World.
