Video - Au Revoir Le Tour

Yesterday the Tour de France ended as usual in Paris.  It was three weeks long and surely must be one of the greatest athletic events on Earth.  Close to 200 cyclists start the 2000 miles trek around France through some of the most beautiful countryside and some of the nastiest hills you could attempt on a bike.  I shall miss my daily "fix" of cycling, but here is a 7:26 video of one of the best in the business - Mark Cavendish the Manx Missile, the fastest man on two wheels.  But he'd better keep an eye over his shoulder for another young man on the rise, Peter Sagan. Many congratulations to the winner of the Yellow Jersey, Bradley Wiggins, who is the first Englishman to win the Tour in its 99 years history  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ36SRYLRvk&feature=related
