Today Alberto Contador duly won the very
exciting and extremely tough 2012 Vuelta a España with the very impressive John
Degenkolb taking his fifth sprint victory.
I would have
much preferred to have seen Joaquin Rodriguez win overall victory rather than
Contador, who is just back from his doping suspension. Rodriguez proved on a
number of occasions that he was superior to both Contador and Alejandro
Valverde on the many climbs. Unfortunately he was comprehensively sandbagged on
Stage 17 when Contador soloed to victory on Fuente Dé after the last rest day. I
just trust that Contador was clean that day and won both the stage and the
overall race on his own merit.
