Yes, you get characters in all sports of course, but they are tougher, grittier and more passionate in cycling. He almost over cooked it on a corner with about 10 km to go.

 

Wasn't surprised to see Cadel get dropped, but didn't expect him to loose as much time as he did.

Wiggins looked really comfortable today, if he does the same again tomorrow he has surely won

Excellent little documentary that was on BBC1 tonight about Victoria Pendleton the track cyclist . She portrays power and confidence on the track but is as fragile as glass emotionally off it .

Highlights of The Tour for me, Thomas Voekler, the speed as Wiggins launched Edvald Boassen Hagen off the final bend earlier in the week and that finish today, Mark Cavendish came from so far back, just amazing!

What a tour and what a morale boost it must be to the British Olympic squad.
