Big Thor Hushovd lost the Green Jersey in the last mountain stage. What a bummer for the giant Norwegian.

Andy Shleck was robbed by the cheater Alberto Contador but still wins Best Young Rider. He is the second person in history to win the Young Rider White Jersey three years in a row - the first was Greg LaMond.

The Schleck brothers - Andy and Frank
And it looks like Frank couldn't be prouder of his little bro


Lance Armstrong does not leave unrewarded. Cheers to Team Radioshack for having an intact team with the best time at the end. They were one of only 6 teams to remain intact and American Chris Horner cracked the Top Ten.

Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwen

Note to Phil Liggett. DO NOT RETIRE. You threaten us every year and if you're not back next year, we're going to find you in Paul Sherwen's African Gold mine and make you call the Col du Tourmalet one final time!
