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.

My wife Ann on tour in France as I type.
Hmm...I think it unfair to ask us to name but one rider when there are so many so I'm naming two (hope I don't get disqualified!)...1. Man of the moment Wiggo, 2. My mate Mickey for getting me back into cycling five years ago - best thing I ever did!
Great Boffo
A friend called Jon who I cycle for recreationally - he has an encyclopaedia like knowledge of local roads
Dave Atkinson
Marco Pantani
Jens Voigt
Eddie Merckx
Pantani!
Robert Miller for me.
This bloke is unhinged, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3LOKfQ3y2Q
Ian Stannard - no longer an unsung hero
Tweeter Sagan!
There can be only one;
Graeme Obree.
(Maybe Oli Pendrey on Gold Hill?)
It is Sean Kelly
Jacques Anquetil
because....... he was the first rider to win the Tour de France five times
the first French rider to win the Giro d'Italia (1960)
the first French rider to wear the yellow jersey of the Tour de France from the first day to the last (1961)
and
the first rider to win all three Tours, with victory in the Vuelta (1963)

Current Jens Voight, from the past Sean Kelly.
Ollie Whalley and Esther Horanyi from 2012 Tour Divide are quite inspiring of current riders as well.
The King : Sean Kelly.
Well i would say myself, but thats slightly big headed
The whole reason I took up cycling is thanks to Channel 4 during the early 90's with Gary Imlach and Phil Liggett. The cyclist being Miguel Indurain. He got me out on the road, cycling stupidly long distances before i'd even started school.
David Millar. To come through, and come clean, like he did demands my huge respect.
my neighbour Adrian
Beryl Burton
It's got to be The Big Mig - Miguel Indurain. From when I first started watching the TdF back in the 90's. A humble hero!
Gino Bartali for winning that triumphant the Tour back in 1948 - 10 years after his previous victory in 38 - and he did it all on a diet of fags, red wine and pasta.
Robert Millar
Hoogerland. Beware of the fence!
The guy that cycles the dulwich dynamo on a cargo bike with his spaniel in the basket
Robert Millar for this if nothing else: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3xcUoRl8TU
Boris Johnson, just ahead of Fabian Cancellara
Got to be Robert Millar - watching him as a teenager got me interested in the sport.
