Astana with 1st and 2nd overall

Hell-yeah! Alberto Contador OWNED the field once they hit Mt. Verbier. Lance and Kloden stayed in the chase group. There were a few attacks to try to catch the gap however no-one was successful. The biggest surprise to me was the challenge by Bradley Wiggins, a great ride for him. Kloden did a great job pacing Lance up the remains of the climb. It was truly a great finish.

So the overall standings are Alberto Contador in 1st, Lance Armstrong at +1:37, Bradley Wiggins +1:46, Andreas Kloden +2:16, and to round out the top 5 Andy Schleck at +2:26.
