I do feel sorry for Valverde who has been really impressive this tour and but for a puncture at the wrong time he too would have been in the podium for Movistar.

 

Everyone has their share of bad luck - remember Chris in last year's tDf lost a few mins. in a crash in one of the first stages?

 

So awesome Chris and Sky have pulled this off. Besides the funding (Murdock inc) and Sir Brailsford and crew, I don't know how much of a British victory this is though.... Chris is one of us umlunghus :o

 

Very happy with the rest of the podium, probably the first time a member of the indigenous peoples of the world have every podiumed in the TdF? Good for Columbia as well, looks like the whole situation there is calming down with FARC winding down.

 

Purito: glad he found some form towards the end, go Catalonia!

Thinking about this a bit more: we do have all the Brits to thank. After all if they hadn't made Murdock stonking rich by supporting all his trash tabloids over the years, we wouldn't have Team Sky init?

I wonder if they've been hacking Chris and Michelle's phone during the Tour? :whistling:

How I wish Froome would take part and give Nibali a good spanking.

Froome will be dead tired after this tour...he started winning in Febr and has dominated almost all the tours he entered.

He had to fight very hard for this win so I think if he decides to ride he will not be able to match Nibali , but I think he will now take a well deserved rest!

 

Think Nibali is going to have a easy ride in the Vuelta because all the top guys are smashed after this tour.....

Don't think Chris or any of the TdF team will do the Vuelta, maybe they are going to let the Colombians do their thing, Brad still licking his wounds apparently.

Okay, straw poll... how many Tours will Froome win?

I think he will win at least 3 , not sure about in a row but he should be good for at least 6 years still.

Really hope he defends next year and then go on to try and win the other 2 grand tours...would love to see him do a Giro/Vuelta one year.

At the very least he should go back to the Vuelta because that is the race that started it all for him.

So are we taking bets as to which teams deck their bikes and riders out with flashing lights? Will SKY use yellowy spoke lights?

It would be priceless if they all used flashing rear lights!!
