Alberto Contador (pictured) has won the 96th Tour De France the other day, the 2nd to his name. Contador finished the 3 week, 2,141 mile race in 85 hours, 48 minutes, 35 seconds. Just completing this race is a feat of monumental man-ness. Intense stretches up mountains, through valleys, and varying weather makes the Tour De France one of the toughest endurance races for mankind. Contador, just a 26 year old, completed it and won only by 4 mins and 11 secs in front of Andy Schleck. Lance Armstrong, the American hopeful, placed 3rd after returning from a four year break from the Tour. Obviously, it would have been awesome if Armstrong won again marking his eighth, but Armstrong is definitely an American hero for having 7 titles to his name and all of the health problems he overcame along with his charity work. Contador earns the title of a B Worthy athlete, but Armstrong will always be a B Worthy man.
