Sastre Takes the TdF

The Tour de France would have been much more interesting if Cadel Evans had marked Carlos Sastre up the Alpe d'Huez.

He didn't, and I believe it cost him the Tour. That's a shame because I rooted for Evans. Sastre is a great rider though. He had a lot of high finishes in previous Tours that prepared him for his moment in the sun. His win is certainly deserved. He ran up the race's hardest climb the fastest, taking the stage win and the maillot jaune. What else can be asked of him?

Could the world see a repeat from Sastre? Barring wreck or injury, Sastre seems to have the fitness to pull it off. He raced in all three Grand Tour events this year, proving he has the legs to go as long as any other rider.
