Lance Armstrong

So another fabulous tour ended, and Lance Armstrong retires from professional cycling with his 7th consecutive win in what is quite probably the toughest sporting event on the planet.
It wasn’t his greatest win ever – he only won his first individual stage in Saturday’s time trial, and Basso stuck to him like glue in the mountains – but a win’s a win, and Armstrong bows out on top.
Armstrong’s may not be the greatest cyclist of all time, because he hasn’t really done a great deal outside the Tour, but don’t let that stop us marvelling at this incredible achievement.
And full marks, once again, to ITV2 and their coverage of the tour produced by Brian Venner at VTV with the usual complications of having Gary Imlach and Chris Boardman present UK coverage, while we share Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin with international broadcasters in the US and Australia.
