Sadly, Bradly is not there this year - having been hit by a van pulling out of a petrol station.

(12,047 posts)BRADLEY Wiggins admitted yesterday that he is unlikely to race the Tour de France again as he scales down his ambitions in response to advancing years, after a disastrous Giro d'Italia and the progress of younger team-mates - and rivals - within Team Sky.
"I don't think I'm prepared to make those sacrifices again that I made last year, with my family and so on. I've achieved what I've achieved and I'm incredibly happy with that."
Wiggins has two children and, in a sign of shifting priorities, has missed an altitude camp this year in order to spend more time with his family.
At 28, Froome is five years younger than Wiggins. After months of tension between the pair, which reached such a level of distrust that it became impossible to imagine them as team-mates, the older man has accepted the rise of the next generation.
