It’s Alberto Contador
Alberto Contador won the doping-scarred Tour de France on Sunday, a new, young and unlikely winner for the three-week race shaken to its core by scandals.
Tour de France winner Alberto Contador of Spain, embraces his trophy as third-place finisher Levi Leipheimer of the U.S. looks on.The 24-year-old rider for the Discovery Channel team was the youngest champion since Jan Ullrich of Germany in 1997. He was the first Spaniard to stand on the winner’s podium since the last of Miguel Indurain’s five titles in 1995.
His margin of victory — just 23 seconds ahead of Cadel Evans of Australia — was the second-narrowest in the Tour’s 104-year history, even after 2,200 miles of racing through Britain, Belgium, Spain and France.
