Astana’s Alberto Contador claimed his second yellow jersey at the Tour de France as Mark Cavendish became the first Briton to win the final stage on the Champs-Elysees. Cavendish, riding for Columbia-HTC, underlined his status as the fastest sprinter in the world by streaking away from his rivals to win by a huge margin. Contador finished 4’19″ ahead of Saxo Bank’s Andy Schleck in the overall standings, with Contador’s team-mate Lance Armstrong taking the final place on the podium on his return to cycling following three years away from the sport.
