Nice to see Sagan waiting to congratulate G

Well done G - excellent and well worth it - Not had an easy time on other Tour De France trips - A nice guy and well deserving of his win

*english translation*

That's lovely that is.

Sir Dave and Mrs T rightfully happy and proud.

Nice little clip that

some years to many options for SPOTY - This year 100% sure G will win - No other choice up to now - No one likely to achieve anything great between now and then - the only question is for 2nd and 3rd

And they're off! Barring incident or accident G will take the 100th Maillot Jaune by a British cyclist.

Dan Martin awarded the most combative rider overall, which is nice as they nearly always give it to a Frenchman regardless.

Alaphlippe in the spots and Petr in Green.

Sagan for the win on the Champs?

I hope so, another great charismatic cyclist. It would be especially goos as they stiffed him on last years tour.

Not to be, but a great win for Kristoff.

And Fucking Hell. G wins Le Tour!

littlegreenman

Says it all about the quality of the man to describe winning Le Tour like this...

"Maybe when I'm 70, sat in a corner of a pub telling some 18-year-old what I used to be, it will sink in. It's incredible, the stuff of dreams."

Chapeau G

Grrr! I hate people doing that! I've had to put signs on my YBTB mic stands saying "NO MIC DROPS!" because of this trend. I can't afford to replace mics every week! 

axisus

Yeah, I'm no fan of the mic dropping thing, it's pretty moronic.

Yep, I agree it struck an off note with me also, but in all fairness it's the only thing he got wrong in the last 3 weeks.

Watching the interviews at the end yesterday, Froome is an absolute gent.

Yes, considering the massive egos of many top riders. Froome has always behaved with great dignity, even with all the adversity over accusations etc. it's too bad for him that he doesn't have the charisma of the likes of Wiggins and G.
