Alberto Contador won the Tour de France, after extending his lead in the time-trial on Saturday. Schleck was a very close second. Mark Cavendish won for a second year running on the Champs Elysses in the final stage, but didn’t quite get the green jersey. Lance Armstrong’s Team RadioShack won the team classification. He tried to use the final stage to get exposure for his Livestrong charity, with all the team switching to jerseys which had the number 28 for the 28 million people living with cancer , but the organisers told them to change them back. The team then put them back on for the podium presentation (see The Guardian report).
