The two day race has wrapped up for 2010, with many surprising results. Former French champion Pierrick Fedrigo dominated on the first mountain stage and was able to defend his lead through the flat stage and short time trial on Sunday.
Two of the favorites for the Tour de France in July, Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong, both suffered especially on the mountain stage, with Contador getting dropped from the front group, citing that his breathing problems from his allergies were to blame for his ineffective chase. Lance Armstrong was certainly not at his best, getting dropped off the back and finishing a mere 15th on Sunday's time trial, 17 seconds back from the winner David Millar of Garmin-Transitions. Contador, however, seemed to have recovered from the day before and finished an impressive second, only 2 seconds behind Millar. Fedrigo held on for 17th place, securing his overall win. Congratulations, Monsieur Fedrigo, on your win in this prestigious event.
