A little unusual, but last year CSC had basically 3 riders with a shot to win it all until the last time trial, and Carlos Sastre ended up taking it. CSC seemed much more amicable though, and I thought Andy Schleck was ok with Sastre winning. Astana seems more like the old T-Mobile team that had Ullrich, Kloden and Vino all competing to lead the team, which did end up hurting the chances one of their riders could win (2004 or 2005 IIRC).
