Anthony Charteau of France won the polka-dot jersey as the best climber; Schleck takes home the white jersey for being the best young rider for a third straight year, and RadioShack squad won the team competition.

Armstrong completed his last Tour in 23rd place, 39:20 after Contador, his former teammate and rival. It was far away from his third-place finish in 2009 on his return from a four-year retirement.

Armstrong has never tested positive and as he has in the past, again denied any involvement in doping.

Contador sipped champagne during the leisurely ride and held up three fingers to signal his third Tour win. His Astana team was always likely to quash any attempt by Schleck to break away Sunday.

For the second year running, the Tour was free of the doping scandals that plagued three straight editions from 2006 to 2008.

Astana team rider and leader's yellow jersey Alberto Contador of Spain celebrates his victory after the final 20th stage of the 97th Tour de France cycling race between Longjumeau and Paris July 25, 2010. Contador won the Tour de France for the third time on Sunday.
