I read today on the BBC website that Froome can go quicker than Wiggins but is not allowed. If I was Froome I'd say 'dangle berries' and go down the pub :y

Still having nightmares from one of the promo ads.

Its one of the podium girls which , as you would expect are darlings. being a man you don't immediately focus on the face.

Then it dawns on you that they are wearing one of those paper masks complete with sideboards or whatever there called these days.

I didn't realise, or maybe I misunderstood, that the last stage is not contested...?

I did wonder why they where talking like Wiggo had already won it. ;D

Must say I've gone all soft and gooey the way the other riders are talking about the Brits victory. :)

Only the sprint is contested, and hopefully the sky team will drag Cav along to win that one...

I might be barking up the wrong tree, but last year, was there an incident, but one of the 'top dogs' used it to his advantage to break away or gain time.
So I would have understood if Wiggins had done the same, but hats off to the fellow...

Go on, Bradley...win it :y :y :y

Would that be the french or italian rider with the built in electric motor and batteries ? He went up hill outstripping everyone else and for what the video showed he did not put in enough effort for what he gained.

While cycling is not a sport I follow,I agree with you on that one,the chances of him winning are good I believe, so hopefully he'll do the deed,and if I've heard correctly he'd be the first Brit to win the tour.

Well done Bradley Wiggins for being the first British rider to win the Tour de France and for Chris Froome coming second and to the "Manx Missile" Cavendish for winning the last stage for the 4th year in a row.  :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

Did Wiggins only win it because Froome wasn't allowed to go faster than him :-\

No, Froome would not have gained over 3 minutes in the mountains, Wiggins is faster at time trials and did not crack on the mountains.when the pair dropped everybody in their group last Thursday.
