There have been alot of interesting points brought up here, many about modern team strategy, but this about sums up why about half way through the tour I started to root for "anyone but Evans" even though I was a fan when he was a young fast mountainbiker:
And why I'm stoked that it was Sastre:
Why? See:
"Meanwhile, Tour winner Carlos Sastre attended the race and spent part of his day visiting children in the cancer ward at a local hospital."
...his public
degradation of his team for the 2nd consecutive year is a excellent example of his lack of character ... He whines, he makes excuses, he buckles under the pressure of high expectations with bizarre behavior between stages.
He has talent just not much class.

As for whining and whinging, there is more of that going on in this thread by some posters than Cadel has ever done.

Found some quotes from Cadel and I'm very dissapointed in him. He's definitely implying that Sastre and others were doping.
That's a very dangerous and misleading implication.
"Sastre's ride in the time trial today for me was a real surprise," Evans said after finishing the 53-kilometre ride from Cerilly to Saint-Amand-Montrond in seventh place.
...
"There were some guys riding surprisingly fast," Evans said. "I got some time checks from the other riders and thought, 'What's going on here?"'

Talk about dangerous and misleading implications....
