Britains Bradley Wiggins wins Tour de France 2012

Fantastic stuff from team SKY



Bradley Wiggins made history today as he became the first British man to win the Tour de France.
The 32-year-old punched his arms in the air and clapped as he crossed the finish line on Paris's Champs-Elysees.
Fellow Briton Mark Cavendish won the final stage of the race into Paris.
Wiggins' feat is expected to make him remembered as one of Britain's greatest ever sportsmen. The final stage was the 13th consecutive day that he had worn the race leader's yellow jersey in the 99th edition of the gruelling 20 stage, 3,497 kilometre (2,173-mile) race.
