Carlos Sastre in Overall Second Place
[23.09 18:21] The final formalities in the shape of a 100-kilometer finishing stage from Rivas Vaciamadrid to Madrid took place on Sunday following which Team CSC's Carlos Sastre was celebrated on the podium for his overall second place in this year's edition of the Vuelta a Espa�a. By his side were overall winner Denis Menchov (Rabobank) and Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) in third place.
�I'm extremely happy to be on the podium here in Madrid. I was fourth three times in a Grand Tour before, so I was pretty determined to make the podium this time. Of course the goal was to win the race, but Menchov was stronger and I couldn't knock him off course. But I'm satisfied with the outcome of this Vuelta both for me and the team. I've been surrounded by fantastic teammates the whole time and they have a huge share in this victory,� said Carlos Sastre after the celebrations in Madrid.
�Again Carlos has shown that he's among the very best stage race specialists in the world and he definitely deserves his second place. We were the ones to attack and we more or less made the second half of the race, which we should be proud of for sure. We managed to get Carlos on the podium and since an overall win wasn't possible we have every reason to be satisfied with this result. We've fought our way here, which is what counts. The team has backed him up perfectly from beginning to end. We've had a great bunch of guys in this race and it's been very inspiring to be a part of. The team spirit and motivation have been high all along and even though we didn't get any stage wins we've definitely made our mark. At the same time Chris Anker had his major international break-through in this race and he's underlined the fact that he has a great future in the Grand Tours,� said Kim Andersen after the final stage, which was won by Lampre's Daniele Benneto.
