I followed the Tour De France 2009 intensively. Amazing entertainment and admiration. Because  I am Danish I kept hoping that the Schelck brothers (Saxo Bank) could outperform the stars from Astana - Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong. But Alberto was to strong for Andy Scheleck and Lance Armstrong (What A comeback!) was to strong for Frank Schleck. After the Mont Ventoux stage the order in Tour De France 2009 was: Alberto Contador (1), Andy Schleck(2), Lance Armstrong(3).

Finally on the podium in Paris, after a great run, Alberto Contador must have felt very weird, when he was announced as winner of Tour De France 2009. Not because he won but because the Tour De France officials played the Danish national anthem and not the Spanish!? What a scandal really. A perfect coordinated Tour De France end up like this. Bad timing.
