Glad you like 'em Branwen, thanks for the recommend :)
Regards the quotes. They were supposed to reflect each riders' own achievement and events from the 2012 race.
Wiggins was easy. He is a goldmine for quotes. On Stage 7 he came out with "It's never too early to take the Yellow jersey." Grand. And the line that breaks through his name in the print, is the stage profile from Stage7. All works perfectly.
Voeckler was easy too. You can always count a Frenchman for a bit of romance. "Today I did what many dream of doing, leading everyone over all four summits." On the day he took the KoM jersey. So again, fits perfectly.
Sagan though. He made it hard for us. He doesn't say much! There were dozens and dozens of awesome quotes about him (eg - He's not a Slovak, he's a Fastvak .. or Sagan is Jedi) but virtually none from himself.
The quote we went with was part of a longer quote that related to his joke celebrations. In particular the one where he did a running impression. The full quote was this:
"I'm like Forrest Gump. When they told him to run, he ran. Today, my team mates told me to win, and I won."
But it was too long for the posters.
But still, it does rather some up his prowess nicely I think.
Thanks again for your interest anyway,
