Le Tour at it's BEST

Yesterday the Tour de France finished a top the mythical Col de Tourmalet. It was an epic battle between 2 riders separated by 8 seconds for the overall. Andy Schleck vs. reigning champion Alberto Contador.

Here is a great article that hypothesizes this ride, where they crushed the field, is believable from a performance perspective.

from a fan perspective, it was pure class to watch Schleck throw everything at Contador and even chase back on when Contador countered. Contador showed class letting Schleck win the stage at the end. He is learning, maturing, as a great champion.

Vive le Tour!
