Watching Cadel on the podium, it was hard for me not to tear up. He had a heck of a time keeping control of his emotions and understandably so. The team “scrum” after the stage finished was also amazing. You can’t help but feel great about a guy (and team) like that winning it after all he has invested over the years.
Andy could not have been more gracious. What a gentleman! It wasn’t just talking points, either, he spoke from the heart as well. Asked if he would change anything looking back, he said no. He said that he raced hard and well but Cadel was just better. At this level of cycling, it is incredible that he could have that attitude. Laudable, but incredible!

I’m sad for Andy but happy for Cadel. He will not have too many more opportunities to win, but I see the Schleck bros on the podium for many years to come. Here’s hoping they each stand on the top at least once!
