Keep your raffle tickets handy. (you'll get it when you watch the podium speech)

That speech was a breath of fresh air. 👍

I've long since stopped listening to F1 podium finisher interviews because they say nothing at all worth listening to. 👎

What a year for Sky. What a Tour. Fantastic job to the lot of you.


Anyone see what happened to Franck Schleck? Some "Issues" with his blood test, it seems...

Yeah, though he's still maintaining his innocence. Saying he's been poisoned, which could be possible.

Eddy Merx was a sprinter of sorts, and he won the Tour. Though he was a beast, he won every jersey I believe.

No he didn't win the White 'Young Riders' jersey....but that's only because it didn't exist then. If it had, he would have won that too!! He did it at the tour in 1969 and in the Giro in 1968.

Brilliant result for Wiggins, Froome, Cav and all the boys at Team Sky. It was just all a bit surreal watching it. Was that really Le Tour? A Brit looking very much at home in Yellow. Cav looking like a proper domestique, yet still doing his jet powered sprinting.

Great stuff.
