Sastre wins the 2008 Tour de France
Congratulation to the Spanish winner of the 2008 Tour de France! It took him 87 hours 52 minutes and 57 seconds to accomplish the 2, 211 mile race in 21 stages. His team also comes first in the team ranking. Can you believe there is not even one minute difference between first place and second place on such a long race!
The first American arrives in 5th place (Vandevelde), the first Frenchman in 14th place (Casar) and the first Belgian is 23rd (Monfort). I know some fans who cannot wait for the next 2009 Tour!
