Hot on the heels of the landmark Spanish victory in the Euro 2008 tournament comes the news that Carlos Sastre (a Spaniard) has won his year's Tour de France. Sastre had finished in the top-10 five times before the 2008 race, but finally focused more on time trials and came out the victor.
A huge congratulations goes to Carlos Sastre. Check out more commentary and some great photos at the New York Times.
Spain has always put an emphasis on cycling. Keep in mind this can be a great activity and mode of transportation when you explore the great cities the country has to offer.
