Carlos Sastre and his CSC teammates sack tapped the Tour bunch and came away with their greatest victory yet. After the craptacular 2006 Tour and Vino/Astana skidmarked 07 race, the 2008 Tour was a pretty good one. Sure the dumbass dopers tried to eff things up (Good going Ricco et. al.), but somehow this year felt different. Whereas the 06-07 Tours had clouds over them, the 2008 Tour seemed more resilient. The shit hit the fan, but rinsed right off.
Now, with his contract up this year, does Sastre "repay" Bjarne and the Team by staying with them to groom the Schleck's for the future or does he do the "profitable" thing, realizing he's at the end of his career, and go for the big money from other teams? I'll go on a limb and say he stays at Saxo Bank/Riis Cycling.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed we don't have any late test results that come in and screw up an otherwise fine finish for cyclings' biggest race.
