We have a winner for the Vulpine Schwag Grab!
My word that was a popular Schwag Grab and a very interesting read too, but all good things must come to an end and now it's time to find out who will be walking awy with a stylish Vulpine Soft Shell Jacket AND a Vulpine Merino Button jersey AND a Merino T-Shirt. The random-number-o-meter has been cranked up and the fickle finger of fate has done its pointy schtick and the winner is…
Antonio
Like a lot of you, Antonio's favourite cyclist is Mark Cavendish. A bundle of stylish, technical cycle wear will be winging its way to him asap.
Our lucky winner gets to pedal off with some top class clobber from Vulpine's range of stylish, performance oriented clothing that's technical enough to meet the demands of almost any form of cycling, yet casual enough to work off the bike in equally demanding social environments.
We were well impressed in our reviews of their Merino T and Merino Button jerseys… we've also got the Vulpine SoftShell in on review, but that's being done by Vecchiojo and he's an artist so can't be rushed although it's rumoured to be on the way any day now.
And because we enjoyed this competition so much we're going to run another with some more Vulpine goodies really soon, so fret not if you didn't win this time around.
To find out more about Vulpine visit their website www.vulpine.cc and for the Vulpine view on what's going to happen at the Tour next week visit their blog.
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

It is astonishing how cheap you can get bikes for on eBay if you're happy with rim brakes!

Eddy Merckx, who didn't quit the tour despite a broken cheekbone so the guy who won wouldn't be told he'd only won coz Eddy had quit!
Has to be Robert Millar, as the only rider from an English-speaking country to have won the Tour de France King of the Mountains title!
Mercx
gert jan theunisse. he was a real rocker and a cool guy. u never see riders like that nowadays.
Can't go wrong with a diva racer. How about Leontin Van Moorsel!
Beryl Burton. She was so dominant in her sport that she was a sort of British Eddy Merckx. She held the 12 hour record in a time that was quicker than the men's and remains the unbroken women's record to this day. You go girl!

3rd the mighty Thor for when he beat his chest when he won - wow! I know that's like watching footballers for their legs but I don't care!! 2nd Hoogerland for carrying on after that fence. 1st Mark Cavendish. I love his attitude and work rate. He deserves to be world champion and I can't wait to be a Donkey Green next month to cheer him on in my Manx Missile t-shirt!! Go Cav
So many to choose from but has to be Eddie Mercx for his sheer aggressiveness in wanting to win everything he entered
yes please!

It has to be Obree for me
Thor Hushovd... Speedy recovery mate..
THOR HUSHOVD!
Oh Thor, you just make me go all wibbly!
Thor Hushovd: the ultimate allrounder.
Cavendish!
Laurent Jalabert - cogs and blood coming out of a man's leg can only ever make him a better cyclist.
Big George.
(Though @tweeterSagan will win this vote and every stage!)
It would definitely have to be Cadel Evans.
Cuddles - don't ya love him.
My wife Claire. In 2011 both of us never done any cycling (and didnt actually own any bikes)until we decided to cycle from tower of London to the Eiffel tower in paris and raise about £2000 for Macmillan cancer support. (we fancied a challenge before settling down to have a family) Instead of doing as part of a charity group organised ride we self funded it and organised our own route with parents as a support vehicle. Here is why she my favourite cyclist and inspiration. 1 week prior to the journey in our 3rd week of training (really should have started a bit earller but we hadn't any bikes before that) we had a crash on a country lane. Claire came off badly with nasty cuts to her face, arms and legs plus some very sore bumps and bruises the main being her wrist. Despite this we still completed the ride having the time of our lives even though Claire was still in pain and often only really riding one handed. When we arrived back in England we discovered she had actually fractured her wrist and had done the entire journey like this. I was sooo proud of her for overcoming her fear of getting back in the bike after the crash and going through the whole trip in pain to complete our challenge. I now hope our newly born daughter has the same determination, will power and guts as Claire.

Johnny G - the dude who invented Spinning and who was an epic triathlte. Also, Martyn Brunt, an English triathlete who writes a monthly article in Triathlon220 and who is a very nice chap!
I guess I have to say my wife, now she has her shiny new road bike.
