    Over a minute faster than team mate Frome, and he was second.

    There's still the final stage to negotiate, so he's done boogie all just yet!
    Let's hope he doesn't find tomorrow too tack-sing <doh>

    Or a (jealous/xenophobic) French spectator to start dropping carpet tacks in front of the leading cycles, as happened a week ago.
    (Hence my previous lame-ish attempt at a humorous reply)

    The last stage of the tour is ceremonial. There is even time for drinking champagne. In the days of a race on the last day rather than a TT, the maillot jaune has always gone on to win.

    Chapeau to Wiggins, Froome and especially Brailsford. Someone should put him in charge of sorting out English football at the FA.

    It gets serious when they get to the Champs Elysees though, eight circuits, uphill section, and if its wet, the cobblestones become very slippery.

    Come the end of the Olympics, Britain could have a clean sweep of the major titles in Road Cycling:

    Cavendish - World Champion (September) 2011
    Wiggins - Tour de France 2012
    Cavendish - Olympic Road-Race
    Wiggins - Olympic Time-Trial

    Not to mention, Froome, 2nd in both Tour de France and Vuelta (Spain), which are 2 of the 3 Grand tours available, the other being the Giro (Italy)

    And the Women's team have a good chance at both TT and RR in the Olympics too!

    Absolutely monumental achievement to finish it in the first place let alone win it

    Well done sky, gb, cav, wiggins and GB cycling. Huge leap forward for the squad.
