Never attacking or doing anything heroic.

on my telly, he did attack. and finally, letting schleck take the stage, whilst not heroic is sporting. he'll go down in history as being one of a few (is it 7?) to win the tour without winning a stage, when it's possible that he could have won the stage but for sparing schleck's feelings.

having said that, contador will have a bit of a hollow victory after gaining his 8sec lead from schleck's mechanical, rather than purely being the best
 
Great photos! Did anyone besides me notice the bad blood between Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwin at the end? I thought these two announcers were about to start duking it out right there on TV. Contador was crafty. I didn't think it was right that he took advantage of Schlecks chain coming off to get ahead but he proved that you don't always have to win big. Just win. Lance just had some dumb luck, but he still finished in the top 25 which was pretty cool for an old guy. And he still made the podium with his team coming in first as a unit. I was impressed at how Cavendish blew them all away at the final sprint. Looking forward to see how next years teams sort out. Thanks!!!
