No-one ever gave Carlos Sastre the respect he deserved. He was the greatest champion of his era.

Thanks a lot for having put this one up. I was supposed to ride the same parcours in 2009, one day after the Tour, but a few months before, I got severely sick and separated from my then girlfriend. On the day of the race, I took the plane back to her, so I missed the race and been looking for it for years. Happy to say we are still married and have a 8-year old daughter now. I am really enjoying the coverage, nice long footage. Thanks again, you have made me happy man.
