    Magnificent achievement. Even more impressive than Wiggo last year, winning 3 stages in the process, including an awesome victory on Mont Ventoux. Shouldn't be forgotten that he played a big part in helping Wiggins win as well.

    Indeed. Well done Chris Froome. Another clean winner. The Avenue des Champs-Élysées procession tomorrow.

    Brilliant from Froome. I'm no great fan of cycling, but you have to recognise that as a great achievement. Rather a good summer for British sport to date.

    Well Cavendish is never going to win the Tour, but he can put himself higher in the overall stage win record books. What is he, 4th..?

    If Cal Crutchlow gets that top step soon, I think we can consider things an all round success this summer.

    Talking about Cal, free practice 3 is up on the BBC Sport website or on the crappy Red Button. Ah, no it isn't. Auntie has f****d its MotoGP coverage up yet again.

    EDIT: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/motogp/20020369

    Better late than never. And it's occasionally never.

    He's tied with Eddie Merckx for Champs Elysee wins. For a cyclist, that's like tying with Pele for something.

    He's already had more road stage wins (I.e. non-time-trial stages) than anyone in Tour history.

    Blimey. Bradley Smith has Randy Mamola as a mentor. I wonder if he could spare a few minutes with my cornering technique..?
