The first true Brit to win the Tour de France 09:20 - Jul 30 with 2826 viewsbuilthjack

With Chris Froome born in Kenya, and not arriving in the U.K. Until his early twenties.
Then Bradley Wiggins born in Belgium and spending his first few years there.
It could be said that Geraint is the first Brit to win it.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Pity Wales didn’t have a Welsh captain when they reached the semifinals in 2016.

Great cyclist but wasn’t a good enough climber. I’d still rank him all time number one in the U.K. mind you.

Yes they did.

In international football, then your player eligibility is determind by a common set of rules and regs. Happy to help.

And lives in Monaco but it's good to see no tax dodger posts as we saw with Froome

Well, most cyclists will naturally live on the continent anyway, it's where the races / best training sites are.

Of course and I was simply being a tw@t mainly to highlight the hypocrisy on here .
Before anyone says anything to the contrary I believe G to be clean and Froome .

Anyway, Monaco overlooking the blue Med or a detached overlooking Cardiff mud flats . Easy one that

I think Philippa York would top him . She won the mountains classification when it used to be a competitive. Also won a couple of decent stage races as well, particularly the Volta a Catalunya and the Dauphine.

Simpson and his generation of cyclists were all off their heads on amphetamines and used to think drinking water would slow them down.

Technology utterly different and we ll never know but it was my opinion . Still is.

Anquetil the first great of the modern era but also no doubt took whatever he could .


Frankly, given the sheer excess of pain on the tour it's not surprising . Without doubt the hardest sporting event in the world
