I'm already looking forward to Le Tour de France 2012, especially to see Mark Cavendish defending his Green Jersey as sprint champion of this year's tour. We'll be planning next year's holiday in France around the route, even Mrs B is getting hooked on Le Tour.
Cav has been referred to by many as 'probably Britain's greatest current sportsman'. That's rubbish, drop the 'probably' and you're right! Tour cyclists are the greatest and toughest athletes in the world, and Cav is up there with the best.
Don't forget Cadel Evans. In recent years he's had some terrible luck in le Tour, but this is his year and he thoroughly deserves the Yellow Jersey as overall winner, Australia's first. Many congratulations to him too.
Roll on Le Tour 2012.
