Carlos Sastre (CSC) won the Tour de France 2008 beating out Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto), who everyone expected to win this year’s Tour. Cadel came in second after disappointing performances in the Alpe d’Huez stage and in the time trial yesterday. Bernhard Evans (Gerolsteiner) came in third.
But the other big news is Wim Vansevenant’s last place finish in this year’s Tour. He is the only man in history to finish last in three consecutive Tours. Three times the Lanterne Rouge is a record.
