Cracking read! Well done to all the fans who ventured over to France, have never seen so many Union flags.

Hopefully, with it being the 100th edition next year the Ventoux is included, then it’s an easy train ride to Avignon and some beautiful countryside…….

As a tour virgin we left Aberdeen at Midnight on Friday and took in the last two stages. We managed to get tickets for one of the stands. The french around us were very impressed with Wiggo leading out Cav for the final sprint. They were a bit bemused about his “drawing the raffle” comments.
Brilliant weekend – so glad I was there.

Great Blog Neil with fantastic photos, how on earth can you top that for a day out, having watched on TV I can only imagine what it was like to be there, that is until I read the blog, well done.

A great article!

May I have permission to use your photo of the three persons sleeping while covered in Union Jacks on my blog? I I’ll credit the source.

Many thanks.

Hi, Neil, what a fantastic day you all had! Thanks for such a great, well written account, which had me with more tears in my eyes! (I had wept nearly all the way to Paris, via TV coverage, I hasten to add!) Such an emotional, unbelievable day with a fantastic finish. Such a pity you guys couldn’t actually see it – would have thought they’d have had big screens round the arena for the fans to see what was going on! Yellow Jersey, then Norwegian Champ leading out the World Champ to an amazing sprint …FANTASTIC! Go, Team Sky

Really enjoyed the blog. I spent about 5 days in the second week watching the boys in eastern France and the Alps, and that too was fantastic – arrived on the first day Brad was in yellow. I can attest that the atmosphere was just brillinat by the roadside and especially in the mountains. Loved every minute but not being able to make Paris was helped by your descriptions on here. Cheers guys. Til next year – or the Vuelta pehaps?

Great day for all Brits! I came from Bourgogne with my Froggie friends from cycling club and rugby club in Avallon, we had a BLAST..so muc we missed last train home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
So what I can say I WAS THERE!!!
Just some rubbish on R2 about what Wiggo has achieved and how it rated against other winners! It does WAY OVER THEM!
Glad you all had a fantastic day in Paris and heres to next year!!!
