Aberto Contador sealed his third Tour de France title in four years yesterday after avoiding mishaps on the ride into Paris.
The Spaniard preserved his 39-second lead over Luxembourg’s Andy Schleck after the 64-mile journey to the Champs Elysees. Riders don’t normally compete for the race-leading yellow jersey on the final day. Mark Cavendish of the U.K. won the 20th stage as Lance Armstrong completed his 13th and final Tour de France.
Contador joins Greg LeMond of the U.S., France’s Louison Bobet and Belgium’s Philippe Thys in winning cycling’s most prestigious race three times. Only five riders have won it more.
