Contador wins 2009 Tour de France, Armstrong takes third

From what I've read about Armstrong, I doubt if he's happy "just to be in it," but still for us over 40 or 50, it's still amazing to see these guys get so close, even if they don't take away the final trophy. I'm sure in France, older French men were cheering for Lance this year, even if he had to pop little blue pills to make it to the finish. ... The 26-year-old Contador outdueled Luxembourg's Andy Schleck and seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong, who finished third in his comeback after four years away from the race.
