#3 for Contador
Alberto Contador won his third grand tour yesterday. (A grand tour is a 3-week bike race). He won the 2007 Tour de France, the 2008 Giro d'Italia, and the 2008 Vuelta a España for the Kazakh-based Astana Team (formerly Discovery Channel, which was previously US Postal). Levi Leipheimer was 2nd overall, bettering his third place in the same race in 2001. He was also 3rd in last year's Tour de France. The Directeur Sportif, Johan Bruyneel, has now won 12 grand tours (I think).

Do you know who Levi will ride for next season?
ReplyDeleteI assume Astana, since I haven't seen anything to the contrary.
ReplyDeleteI looked online after I mentioned it to you Glen and couldn't find that reference. I probably got him confused with someone else.
ReplyDeleteThe guy right behind him looks like Dance Wilstrong...
ReplyDeleteOh shoot-- it does! I hope he enjoyed the trip for me.
