Vive le Tour Forever

Everybody knows by now that Lance has won his seventh and final Tour. In spite of this expected outcome, the final stage of the race held some excitement, especially near the end with Alexandre Vinokourov's impressive breakaway. Vinokourov won the stage, giving the Kazakh just extra seconds he needed to move into 5th place.

Armstrong's victory speech (unprecedented in Tour history) was wonderful as he expressed his friendship toward Ivan Basso and admiration for Jan Ullrich.

Tdfblog tells us that Lance will again grace the cover of SI in this week's edition. Click through to see an image of the cover.
