Allez Wiggo


And so “Le Tour” comes to an end with Bradley Wiggins wearing the Maillot Jaune.  Maybe it’s an age thing but I felt quite emotional as the fastest Mod on two wheels, Bradley, rode out with Tommy Voeckler (King of the Mountains), Tejay Van Garderen (Young Rider) and Peter Sagan (Sprinter) at the front of the Peloton.  Although the Sky team have been invincible, commanding the race from the outset, there have been moments of sheer brilliance, true sportsmanship and genuine affection.  But for Bradley to be dubbed “Le Gentleman” by the French is perhaps the biggest achievement of all
