Who is your Rider of the Tour outside the obvious Top Ten and Cav? I have listed a few to get it rolling.

Agreed but I ran out of options and can't now change it for some reason so one vote for Gilbert noted! Very Happy Plus there will be otherrs but I think Gilbert had a great tour. A little surprised he did not commit more to going for green as he was certainly capable of it but he obviously wanted more stage wins rather than green I think.

for me it's TV

great opportunist, great battler, and let his key domestique disappear up the road to get the white jersey instead of trying to defend the impossible dream

Initially thought EBH that guy is just brilliant at every discipline, but then thought about Pierre Rolland, worked hard all through for T Voeckler and managed to win a tough stage, plus got the white jersey.

Apart from stage 19 where he finished outside the time limit in the same gruppeto as Cavendish and, like Cavendish and the rest of the group, was docked 20 points. But yes, other than that he did exactly what you said.

I'm there with you my dear. Great ride to defend for so many days. He gave it his all to get up those mountains.

Very Happy

For goodness sake Ann and Gordon - don't you read the instructions?!!! Shocked

I said apart from the Top Ten to make it a bit more interesting. Please pay more attention! Wink
