Tour de France 2012

I never thought I'd see a British rider win the Tour.

I've been a fan of Wiggo for a while. I like his manner, and his integrity, and he is a stylish fucker off the bike. I also believe him to be a clean rider, which counts for a lot.
I have loved seeing him absolutely slay the TT competition.
I have loved seeing him get and then retain the yellow.
I have loved seeing the sky juggernaut tear the arse out of their competition up the mountains, especially when early on the experts were saying that they would be vulnerable in the mountain stages. Seeing Cadel Evans dropping out of the back was a proper moment of pure delight for me.
I don't care that Froome is stronger up the mountains. I don't think he could have won the tour this year because he probably does not have enough maturity and experience to hold it together. Wiggo has and even he let the monumental nature of his achievement get the better of him yesterday. This tour will give Froome the mental strength to win the tour next year and maybe many more years.
I totally respect and appreciate Froome's loyalty and commitment to his team. That kind of character is worth any number of stage wins.

I am enjoying this year so much, and as I rejoiced in Cav's green jersey win last year, so shall I rejoice at Wiggo's yellow jersey win this year (barring any disasters). It is fucking marvellous.

Afucking-Men to that.
