Discovery and Contador Reign Supreme at the Tour de France

The Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team reigned supreme at the 2007 Tour de France.

Not only did Alberto Contador win the Yellow Jersey and the Best Young Rider Competitions, teammate Levi Leipheimer finished a career best 3rd for his first-ever podium position. Both Leipheimer and Contador won stages giving Discovery Channel two stage wins along with two podium positions.

Discovery Channel also won the teams competition, as Yaroslav Popovych finished 8th, giving Discovery three riders within the top 10.

Lance Amstrong proclaimed that this was the greatest tour ever for the Discovery team and its predecessor, the US Postal team. Hopefully, this will help solidify its quest for a new title sponsor.
