Alberto Contador (Astana) of Spain won the 2008 Vuelta a Espania, completing his triple crown of the 2007 Tour de France, the 2008 Giro d' Italia, and the 2008 Vuelta a Espania. Contador makes history by being the youngets person to complete a triple crown, and doing it in the shortest amount of time. His American teammate, Levi Liepheimer, was second and 2008 TDF chapmion, Carlos Sastre (CSC) was third. In other news, two time reigning world TT chapm Fabian Cancellara has announced that he will not compete in this year's worlds. He says that he simply lacks the legs to do it after a very long season (with several very prestigious victories, including the Olympic gold medal in the mens Time Trial). I'm disappointed to say the least.
