In his long carreer as domestique, he also had some moments of glory, like on the day when he took over the amarillo jersey of leader in the Vuelta Espana. His 2009 season was stopped by a broken hand, but now he is back on the bike again and hoping to regain a decent level.

    Team SAXO-BANK

    Stuart O'Grady has had lots of bad luck in recent seasons with crashes and injuries and he has been a worthy helper for the Schleck brothers in this year's Tour de France. Several years ago, O'Grady was in contention for the green jersey at the Tour, a dream that never came true despite being very close a few times. A dream that came true, however, was that fantastic victory in Paris-Roubaix, when he was rewarded for his offensive racing with the biggest win in his life.

Some good placings in the Flemish classics and recently in the Tour of Austria and the Tour de Suisse show that another big success could follow in 2009.

This season, he missed that little part of luck to take the win in the classics, when he took Top 5 placings in Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

    Christophe Kern
    Cofidis

    On July 10th, Christophe Kern failed to score the biggest win of his career yet. On the last kilometres of the first mountain top finish in the Tour, he was lying in second place and came closer and closer to the leader. He finally finished second in Andorra, just a few meters back on the winner Brice Feillu. As consolation prize, Kern took the polka-dot best climber jersey on that day.

    REPORT

    Goosebumps

    These words spoken by Frank Schleck as he mounted his bike at the start line of the criterium sum up the key themes of the evening: emotions and excitement. An estimated 40,000 spectators came out to celebrate the heroes of the latest Tour de France in a crazy atmosphere, with all the essential ingredients for an unforgettable evening: sport, show and emotions.

    The excitement was already fealable at two o’clock in the afternoon, when the first fans began to gather along the barriers, which hadn’t even been decorated with the sponsors’ names yet, to make sure they didn’t miss a moment of the show, already giving a glimpse of the buzz that was to follow that evening. There was excitement too for the youngest participants, those in the Yuppi’s Trophy, which was once again a great success with over 80 entrants, who were delighted to ride in front of such an enthusiastic crowd, to strike a pose as they crossed the finish line and answering the many journalists present, declaring loud and clear that they had just one goal in life: to become like him, like their idol, like Andy Schleck.

    Another emotional moment came during the presentation of the riders, shortly after Max Becker had won the Sponsor Trophy on behalf of the Police of Luxemburg. The crowd gathered in Place Guillaume II had eyes and voices for none but them: Andy Schleck, resplendent in his white jersey as best young rider, a sight we’re starting to get used to seeing, Frank Schleck, listening with undisguised pleasure to the audio replay of his victory at Le Grand-Bornand, and Kim Kirchen, discovering that the Luxembourg crowd hadn’t forgotten him despite a Tour de France that fell somewhat short of expectations. With all due respect to the reigning world champion Allessandro Ballan, it was indeed the Luxembourgers who were the stars of the evening yesterday, and they proved it all over again by dominating the race from start to finish and the victory of one of them, Frank Schleck.

    The race



    54 riders lined up for the 13th edition of the Gala Tour de France, a little bit late on the official porgram. As of the second lap, Pascal Triebel took the lead of the race with Degano, Diseviscourt, Di Gregorio and Laterza. Andy Schleck, who wanted to show himself as offensive as in the Tour de France, also jumped on the train and soon took control of the group. Behind them, Columbia led the chase of course, together with world champion Alessandro Ballan and Benoît Joachim.

    On lap six, most of the riders of the break were caught again, except for Remy Di Gregorio and Pascal Triebel who remained at the front. A counter attack by Alessandro Ballan, Stuart O'Grady and Pit Schlechter Schlechter brought 10 riders into the lead: Di Gregorio, Triebel, Ballan, O'Grady and Schlechter were joined by Philippe Gilbert, Christophe Kern, Marcus Burghardt, Benoît Joachim and Claude Wolter. They managed to gain around 15 seconds advantage on the main pack.

    But the collaboration was not perfect in the group and the turns not that equal. Benoît Joachim didn't believe in this group any more and he decided to have a go on his own, before being caught by Gilbert, Schlechter, Wolter and Triebel, still him. But the rest of the peloton wasn't far behind and during the 15th lap, there was a general regroupement at the front. The race started again, but several riders had already lost a lot of strength so far during the first, very animated laps. Most of the Luxemburgish amateurs had shown themselves at the front, but now the serious things were about to begin with the pros taking the commands. Karsten Kroon launched an attack, chased by Andy Schleck, Joachim, Minard, Coyot, Rosseler, Beppu and Drucker, whereas the peloton was split into several pieces. The double winner of the Henninger Turm stayed solo for another two laps, but the riders from Silence-Lotto, who were at the number of four in the second group, drove everything together again for another general regroupement at mid-race.

    On lap 25, Kim Kirchen splitted the peloton again with a powerfull attack and only about 15 riders were able to follow him, among them most of the favourites, but also Christian Poos and Cyril Heymans of the Team Differdange. Kim seems very motivated to take a second win in the Gala Tour de France and he accelerated again and again. It paid finally off in the 32nd lap, when Kirchen was able to break away with Philippe Gilbert. But the Schleck brothers were still in contention and they bridged up three laps later, followed by Ballan and Simoni.

    This is the good break and, with 4 laps to go, there are still lots of attacks. The Luxemburgish riders stick together against the Italian and the Belgian, while Andy Schleck managed to break away. But the world champion was very strong, he tried to bridge up again with Kirchen and Frank Schleck in his wheel, while Gilbert and Simoni were not far away and had been joined by Maxime Montfort in the chase. With two laps to go, the white jersey of this year's Tour de France was caught again by his brother, by Ballan and Kirchen. Just like so often, the race was to be decided in the very last laps.

    Kim Kirchen attacked yet again and managed to break away with Frank Schleck. The elder of the two brothers had been rather coam until then and hasn't done any unnessessary efforts until then. This was a good choice since it was well Frank who was the strongest in the end, leaving Kim Kirchen behind him after a last acceleration on the small climb on the course. Frank Schleck wins the 13th edition of the Gala Tour de France with 3 seconds advantage on Alessandro Ballan, who bridged up to Kirchen at the very end to beat him in the sprint. Due to his constant present in the breaks all over the race, Andy Schleck was rewarded with the win of the intermediate sprints classification.
