Alberto Contador, winner of the Giro 2008

Alberto Contador had to defend 4 seconds ahead at 28 kilometers. And what if he did.

He did not give any option to its archrival, Ricco. Contador came eleventh to the goal and the Italians in the 68th, at 1:53 of the Spanish. Ask Engadget and nerves. Alberto Contador is the first Spanish winner of the Giro after Miguel Indurain.

"This is morally more important than winning the Tour," Contador said one bloated. And no wonder, since winning this great return is a claim by any account. Esperársele arrived safely in the absence of one week for the start of the Italian round, and he looked less than anyone else at the top. But that's where we see the strength and greatness of the best. More than a week ago grabbed Magglio rossa and since then has come loose. Alberto Contador crowned great among the greats.

We can not enjoy in the Tour de France, as the gala round does not allow participation of teams cheating have two consecutive years. As I said at the time, does not seem unreasonable that position. But that does not mean that it is a pity not being able to enjoy the race for excellence of the best cyclist of the moment. The Tour loses more than Alberto Contador, who has already shown he can win all that is proposed. We'll meet again in the Tour of Spain.
