Carlos Sastre is now the third Spaniard in a row to win the world's number 1 cycling championship after Oscar Pereiro and Alberto Contador. As far as sporting events go, this has been Spain's year through and through.
"Right now Spain has won the Tour de France. With Nadal we won at Roland Garros and Wimbledon and we have also won Euro 2008. It's our year in Spain!" says a Spanish sports fanatic, Jose Carlos Diaz.
And Carlos Sastre's family couldn't have asked for more.
His aunt, Petri Candil says, "We've cried, we've laughed, we've jumped around. It's been so big, such an enormous emotion for us, his family, for his friends and all his hometown who loves him. I can't help getting the chills when I think of it. It's really a once in a lifetime emotion."
