bit weird to be complaining

about the best ever performance by a British road rider

before the Tour, there was no reason to expect anything like that from Wiggo. He wasn't even the leader on his own team.

This has been an amazing Tour for British riders - 5 stage wins (and maybe 6....?) and a 4th place finish. Doubt we'll ever see anything like this again.

        Yes, when Contador left him the other day, I thought that was it for Armstrong (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Jul 25, 15:47:27
        
        For a podium place I would guess, so close yet so far (n/m) (General Chat) - Maillot Jaune, Jul 25, 15:38:36
