Here are all the winners at the 2007 Tour de France.
Alberto Contador (Spain) won the General Classification, aka, the Yellow Jersey. At age 24, he also won the best young rider classification, known as the White Jersey.
Discovery Channel put two cyclists on the podium, Contador and US cyclist Levi Leipheimer. As Discovery and its predecessor, US Postal Service, they've won the Tour eight out of the past nine years. Might want to give a big dose of credit to Johan Bruyneel for that. Discovery won the team competition.
Belgium's Tom Boonen (Quickstep) won the points competition, aka the Green Jersey. He also won two stages along the way.
Newcomer Mauricio Soler (Colombia) of the Barloworld team took home the polka dot jersey in King of the Mountain competition. He's also a young guy we'll hear from in the future.
Wim Vansevenant (Belgium) of Predictor – Lotto won the lanterne rouge competition,which means he finished last. I doubt if Vansevenant set out to win this competition, but one reason he finished 3 hours and 53 minutes behind the leader was because he spent his days helping the team boss, Cadel Evans, who became the first Australian ever to finish on the podium in Paris.
