Tour de France: Stage 18

Contador is amazing.  He’s proved that over and over again.  Today, he not only held his overall lead and beat all his rivals, he also posted the best time overall, beating the time trial specialists.

Andy Schleck also rode a great stage, holding on to his second place position, and only losing 15 seconds to Lance Armstrong.

Truth be told, the time trial was kind of boring.  In years where Jan Ullrich was trying to gain 30 seconds on Armstrong, the final time trial was exciting.  Today with Mont Ventoux looming on Saturday, the time trial seemed like a bit of a sideshow. 

Rider of the Day

He could well be rider of the next 5 years.
