Alberto Contador

Spain’s Alberto Contador snatched the Tour de France 2009 title for a second time Wednesday while American legend Lance Armstrong finished third.

Mark Cavendish of Britain took his sixth stage win of this year’s Tour in a sprint after the 164-kilometer course ride from Montereau-Fault-Yonne to the Champs-Elysees.

Andy Schleck of Luxembourg was second overall after the 2007 champion Contador.

"It has been an especially difficult Tour for me, but I savor it and it is more special because of it," Contador said after the race.
