I think Dekker will win.

Even further domination! Who can stop contador!

Stage 21

Evan Oliphant went with the breakaway


And surprisingly, the break would be allowed to stay away and fight for the win


Evan Oliphant led his 6 remaining companions into the final lap. Danilo Napolitano is surely a certainty to win.


As the peleton enters the final lap, Contador decides to find out if his domination will extend to the flat


He manages to get a decent gap


Back up front, Oliphant is happy to lead out


He delays the sprint until with 1.5km to go, Napolitano makes the first move


But it is Alzate who is the strongest sprinter


What a win for Euskaltel's Colombian!


By following Alzate, Evan Oliphant takes 2nd - the best result of his career!


The peleton will be battling for 10th place, and Contador is swallowed up once the sprinters get going


In a very tight sprint, Eisel wins 10th place - Stevic takes 20th


Contador finishes 34th - the Tour de France champion!

Great result for Oliphant and Contador, well done SN. Super riding for the super team

good job.

If only the tunnel exit had been a bit longer and steeper contador would have gain more time then

GREAT JOB CONTADOR & CO.

Jesus christ that was an awesome TDF, Contador pwned!!!! Im a bit suspicious though, no Human could do that well unless there were steroids involved!!!
Great win though this is truely a great read!

Thanks Im still surprised at how badly Dekker and Schleck faded







Upcoming Schedule:
Post Danmark Rundt - Leader: Aleksandr Pliuschin
San Sebastien Classic - Leader: Alberto Contador - Sponsor Goal: Top 5
Deutschland Tour - Leader: Aleksandr Pliuschin
Vattenfalls Classic - Leader: Edvald Boasson Hagen

tremendous job

awesome

you attacked! yay

Vive Le Tour! Vive le Contador!

A great Tour victory - well deserved! I can't believe Dekker and Schleck in the last week, that was pathetic!

Good luck with up and coming races, hope you can accomplish a win at San Sebastian.

Im only aiming for Top 5 in San Sebastien, sprinting may be too much of an issue for Contador to actually win

Maybe you can try what you did on the Champs elysees, might work next time

I think ill target attacking in the hills in San Sebastien, not the flats

Sounds like a better plan than mine, good luck

Fantastic TDF win!

Good luck in San Sebastian, GO CONTADOR!

Aleksandr Pliuschin will lead the team as he builds up to the Deutschland Tour. Also preparing for Germany are Hoy and Bodrogi - for the TTT. Swift and Smith are here to gain an experience level, while Ivan Stevic will take advantage of his strong form after the tour and the fact that only Zabel should be hard to beat here. McCann and Perez make up the 8.

Stage 1

Ben Swift delivered Stevic to a strong position.


But Stevic was forced to go on alone with over 2km to go


He pulled away from Designa's Biondo, and no opposition appeared


Stevic takes win number 3 of the season
