He Rode a very good Tour. He had the help of Big George Hincapie, who know has 9 Tour wins to his credit. He has helped Cadel, Alberto & lance win there Tour Title's. Cadel totally demolished Schleck in the Time Trial. He was down by 57 seconds at the start, & won by well over a minute. So in reality he had over two minutes on him by the end of the TT.

Indeed Hincape has his own chapter in Tour glory. The modern Tour is a team event - I can't think of any rider who has one his own Tour...maybe Indurain's '91 or '92 but my memory's a bit hazy that far back

Cadel had to work hard for the win. He was clearly a happy rider this year & he's fast when he's happy!
