re: re: because i have to...

last post on this in 2009, i promise.

after saturday's mountain stage wrapped up, the tour de france podium was essentially set, with sunday's ride into paris being little more than ceremonial. standing in at #2 (although several minutes behind tour champion-to-be contador) is andy schleck, representing his red, white, and light blue with pride. his brother frank clocks in at #5, making luxembourg the only country to have two nationals in the top 5.

oh, and for those keeping score, lance didn't race too shabbily either, finishing third and giving astana two top-three finishers. but you know what they say in luxembourg: #3 is not as good as #2.
