[Closed] Wiggo and Cav now LEGENDS.

GET IN! What an awesome result, now we just really need Cav to win the Olympics that will be a fantastic year.

+1 😀

Spoiler!

😉

They went into the tour already legends

Dont think we will see wiggo advertising gillette razors anytime soon like sir hoy , not with the trademark chops

Scooters and parkas maybe 🙂

I don't care if this gets me a ban but

****ING AWESOME!!!! whole Sky/British set up deserve everything that we can give them! ****ING IMMENSE!!

Absolutely amazing! Never thought I'd see it!

better than a frenchie getting it 😈

tho not as good as getting a frenchie! or a brazilian for that matter...

Awesome, proud day for cyclists - amazing performances! 😀

He already advertises Fred Perry.

Does it make it better or worse that most of the French seem to be incredibly bitter and pissed off about it? Reading the comments on l'equipe and 95% are calling him a drugs cheat or an unworthy winner of a boring tour.

Amazing performance though - and he lives 'down the road' in Chorley. 🙂

Did we ever find out what the winning raffle numbers were?? 😕

Seriously though, awesome!

Absolutely amazing, was out of my chair screaming for Cav to win today. British cycling have done an amazing job one of the best tours I've ever watched.

Well done mutton chops Brad.

and I'm also going to put a well done in for Millar for the stage win, an ex doper pulled it out of the bag too.

Remember this?

Winning a tour inside five years - hahhahahaha, smoking crack or what 😆

+1
Incredible. That is all.

Great result, Cav's a legend... Wiggins needs to win it again to get there, though 🙂

I honestly believe he'd have won it last year had he not crashed out.

Good to see Sky learn from that and reap the benefits, brilliant.

I honestly believe he'd have won it last year had he not crashed out.

Quite possibly, look how Cuddles did this year 🙂

Still, to be a legend you need to either a) do it against the odds or b) do it repeatedly. First Brit to win is cool, but to my mind has yet to qualify for legendary status.

Well done both i was jumping up and down willing Cav to win.

So it was me wot did it 😉

Reading articles on the beeb and that, they were saying the French seemed to quite like him. They even started calling him Le Gentleman.

Can I add, Dave Brailsford for PM (and Shane Sutton for home secretary!)

What an amazing achievement. Well done Wiggo, Froome, Cav and the whole team Sky.

Don't forget, if it goes to plan we could have the World Champ, the TdF winner, the Olympic Road Race champ and the Olympic TT champ all british in ten days time.

For a nation with 'no' cycling heritage that wouldn't be bad.

And that's before the track boys and girls go to work.

I wonder if Dave Brailsford fancies a serious go at MTB next?

that's pretty legendary, and I've probably missed a few.....

Reading articles on the beeb and that, they were saying the French seemed to quite like him. They even started calling him Le Gentleman.

I think it was all ruined by Lesley Garrett.....Bloody Awful singing and the dress.

🙂 As for the results EXTRA AWESOME.

and another downer... who's going to get the coverage for next year $KY 😉

Agree totally, what a joke it ruined what must be the best day in British cycling!

Does Wiggo's [s]beak[/s] nose give him an unfair aerodynamic advantage?

Lets NOT forget the rest of the TEAM that made the achievement HAPPEN !!!!!!!

First Rainbow jersey to win a Tour stage?!!!-you're having a laugh mate!!

Wiggo is the first person to win Romandie, P-N and Dauphine in one year though. You've missed plenty off his palmares..... he won the Prologue of the Giro in 2010, finished 3rd at the Vuelta last year etc

First rainbow jersey to with on champs elysse is what they said on itv

First Rainbow jersey to win a Tour stage?!!!-you're having a laugh mate!!

First to win in Paris I think.

What a bloody great day. 🙂

Never thought I'd see it, never in a million years. Massive lump in my throat watching the MJ lead out his sprinter.

All for one and one for all eh my Gallic chums? 😉

Quite right that Garrett is getting a load of abuse....but did anyone see that yank (American ambassador to France?) presenting on the podium!? What a scruffy f*ck!

I still haven't worked that one out. I'd have thought the ambassador would have put some effort to put some clothes on, and a quick google earlier showed that the current ambassador is definitely someone else, so no idea who that dude was.

I could have got it wrong, pretty sure he was American, it would explain the sartorial faux pas.

Looked like the 100m runner Maurice Greene.

Second bottle of bubbly going down a treat here.

Yeah hinault to the right should have presented !

Best result on French soil since 1415, how apt that the BBC should have shown the highlights from that last night. I don't think that Shakespeare has much of a clue though, not once did anyone put the hammer down or open a suitcase of courage, just a load of nonsense about breaches and some bloke called Crispen.

But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Wiggins the King, Cavendish and Froome,
Boasson Hagen and Rogers, Eisel and Porte,
Sivtsov and Knees-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son.

2* Daupnine

Wiggo was third in 2011 and Tony Martin won as I recall
