Contador wins Tour de France – Wrong Nat’l hymn is played
Spanish Alberto Contador from Team Astana won the Tour de France, with Andy Schleck from Saxo Bank in second and Lance Armstrong also from Astana in third place.
I do think this year’s Tour de France will go into the history books. I found the Tour pretty boring with a few mountain etapes (routes) and poor competition from the other teams. Saxo Bank and Team Colombia managed to threaten Astana from time to time, but it never became really exciting.
About the lack of mountain routes how can Thor Hushovd win a mountain route? He is a sprinter.
One moment might go into the history books. As Alberto Contador is stood on the podium in Paris they played the Danish anthem instead of the Spanish.
Ironically enough two years ago Contador was “given” the Tour victory after Danish rider Michael Rasmussen was kicked out of Tour de France.
Still a shame for Contador to have his moment ruined by a simple error.
