Cadel sheds a few tears for joy as the emotion of winning overcomes him... After a hard year,  a frustrating tour de France, bad luck on the Sierra Nevada with a flat in a crucial part of the stage and a disastrous bike change... a third in the Vuelta and the rainbow jersey makes it easy to understand.

Naturally, Cadel's wife Chiara got a little misty seeing Cadel win and stand on the worlds podium in the rainbow jersey. Photo © 2009 Fotoreporter Sirotti
