Oscar Pereiro Yellow JerseyWell, congratulations to Oscar Pereiro, who is now the official winner of the 2006 Tour de France.  Pereiro was the second in line after Floyd Landis was found doping, and his latest appeals failed.

There are stories about this everywhere, so I will just link to a few of them, and let each one tell it’s own story.

Reuters has interesting facts about Pereiro.

Bloomberg has a small article as well.

Times Online mentions Pereiro finally gets his yellow jersey.

International Herald Tribune calls it the ’longest tour in history‘.

The AP has a quite interesting Pereiro article as well.
