..... congratulations must go to Chris Froome...
He was the clear favourite for the Tour De France, he had a fantastic ride in 2012, leading Bradly Wiggins to victory, but 2013 is his year.
There is the last procession left, riding into Paris for the formal conclusion, but barring major heart failure or the like, Chris Froome will be the second Englishman to win the TdF. Although, just like Bradley Wiggins, neither he or Bradley Wiggins were born in England, but hey who cares..... they are English and winners !
My best liked photo from the tour must be this one.......
The guy who took this picture was in the right place at the right time.....
As for the remaining riders who did not win the TdF, they should still be congratulated for their achievements. At times averaging more that 30 mph over the whole of a particular stage of the race.
At times riding over 50 mph down hill and managing not to fall off, and when they do fall off, often getting straight back on the bike.... one bloke fell off his bike and broke his collar bone.... he got back on his bike and carried on riding.....later in the same stage....he then fell off again..... he didn't get back on the bike this time..... good choice I think.
So here is my SoD for Chris Froome......
Winner of the Tour De France 2013
