....and some spectators ride up it 3 times in the same day just for the hell of it!

Been a great Tour with both Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish excelling themselves, especially Bradley who has built his reputation more on the track than the road.

Wouldn't be suprised if he joins Armstrong's new team next year.

Main sponsor alleged to be...........YOUTUBE......Fair play to both Cav and Wiggins. Get a bet sorted for the next tour....Wiggins is expected to return as a Tour jockey for the next couple of years,giving the 2012 games a miss. Today's stage proved,with a little more experience Bradders
will be a serious threat to all.

wondr if he regrets having spent so much time on the track, he's proved this last 3 weeks he's up there with the best of em, a little more experience could have him seriously challenging, if he improves again in the next 12 months who knows, as for him and Cav both have said they are happy with their current teams, cav is signed up to Columbia for another 12 months, both have denied they are joining the British sky team, pity really, wonder if Cav will do it on the Champs Elysees to morrow, he has been bigging himself up ffor it all tour
