The 96th Tour de France came to an end on Sunday with Lance Armstrong reaching the podium but not quite able to match up with the winner and the man of the moment, Alberto Contador. Armstrong though reached the podim for the 8th time in 11 summers he couldnt't make it to the top of the grandest stage of all in cycling.
Armstrong trailed behind Contador and the runner-up, Andy Schleck, as they went to their respective spots. Armstrong barely acknowledged the new champion, offering a quick, perfunctory handshake, but then he warmly greeted Schleck, placing his left hand on Schleck's right shoulder as he offered congratulations. It seems Armstrong may have got a big contender for next year's race but he thinks that he can pull it off next year by banking on better preparation and changed team dynamics.
