Since only about three Americans watch the Tour de Fraud France since Lance Armstong’s retirement, it should be noted that Alberto Cantador won the 2007 Tour today in Paris, France.

Contador, who rides for the Discovery Channel team, becomes the first Spaniard to win the three-week race since Miguel Indurain, the first ever five-time consecutive winner, in 1991-1995. The 24-year-old from Madrid virtually secured his first ever yellow jersey on only his second ride in the race after his fifth place finish in the penultimate stage time trial in Angouleme on Saturday.

Scandals, doping, and the corrupt French marred this years edition.  This is the first year in about a decade I didn’t keep up with the race.
