Congratulations to Geraint and team Sky for winning the Tour de France and p1ssing the French off.
He comes across as a totally humble, unassuming nice guy.And he's welsh :roll:

Yup nice one Geraint. 8) :thumbsup: :D
I've watched every pedal stroke on TV. He totally dominated all of his rivals from the moment he first pulled on the Jersey. He could have probably won't two other stages if he had needed to. The most impressive winner in several years and each time he was interviewed, it was clear he was still riding for the team, right up until he final time trial. Great bloke from what I have seen over many years and such a humble and worthy winner. :thumbsup:

Does Wrexham count as Wales by the way. :wink:

Agreed Thomas more than a worthy winner & more applause to Sky for what is a phenomenal achievement dominating the Tour with 6 British riders winning it out of last 7 years .
Looking back out those wins though its hard to say Wiggins merited his like Froome & Thomas have theirs :wink:

Also hats off to Peter Sagan for having one day off after the Tour, and then heading straight off elsewhere to compete in another race...which he duly won! :rofl:
