So here's one!
Best ever sporting event/finish I have witnessed in my life, and likely to witness again. Thoroughly brilliant from start to finish. Well done Team Sky bringing Brad Wiggins home to take the yellow, Cav to finish the last stage in his usual style, but made even more special with Brad leading him home and Chris Froome taking second (and no doubt has the potential to win one himself)

It had me on the edge of my seat for a full three weeks.
Watched it a few times in the past and can honestly say i dont think i have ever seen a team work as well together as Team Sky. Well done lads... Next the Olympics!!! -------------------- Regards, Drew Willcock

Never seen a British display like it, normally we threaten to do well then roll over and die once the pressure builds.
Brilliant to see cycling all over the newspapers Coldon |

Arise Sir Bradley of Wiggins methinks
 It's certainly the best Tour I've watched and great to see a Brit one-two

Brilliant performance by the Brits, makes our other sporting superstars (you know the ones, they promise great things but never perform when it matters) look tame.
Good to see Brad and his team are getting the media coverage they deserve

I feel a bit sorry for "Kosta" Siutsou, he was expected to be another of Wiggo's right hand men but crashed on Stage 3 and broke his leg
 I recon that he would have been up there with the best of them if he'd had a chance, now all he gets is to watch the rest of the team receive all the accolades

Went to see Le Tour De France @ stage 18 on the Cote De Souillac had a great day my wife and daughter loved it and they are not interested in cycling.
 You can just see Wiggins in yellow jersey in one of the pics,they went by that fast i only just had time to cheer him on.
