Alberto Contador of Spain was crowned Tour de France champion for the second time after the completion of the 21st and final stage. Outwardly the second success to Kontadoru has come easily enough. It is necessary to notice that he wasn't the main star before start. Lance Armstrong the king of Tour, its sevenfold winner has returned. Lance as a result became the third. Present Tour de France became a disappointment for many favorites. Such sportsmen like Carlos Sastre, Cadel Evans, and Andreas Kloden have appeared noncompetitive this year. But Englishman Bradley Wiggins from Garmin-Slipstream became the main discovery of present Tour. As the result he took the forth place. There were only Schleck brothers from Luxembourg who could make competition to Contador.
