"Alberto has demonstrated that he is a great champion"
As Alberto Contador today took the decisive step towards being crowned winner of the Tour de France cycle race, Fernando Alonso had this to say on the subject: “I would like to offer my most sincere congratulations to Contador, a fellow Spaniard for taking victory in such an important event as the Tour de France.
"Alberto has demonstrated that he is a great champion, winning it for a third time and I also extend my congratulations to Samuel Sanchez, who has finished fourth.
"I am a big fan of cycling: it has been a very exciting Tour with just a few seconds splitting the front runners, with the thrills lasting all the way to the end. I am really happy for both of them.”
