It's been quite a few weeks watching Chris Froome win the 2016 Tour de France with yesterday presenting another of those fantastic shots as the entire Team SKY rolled over the line as one.
The team effort and tactics has been great to see on a roller coaster of a race, with Chris Froome having run up mountains, bled through his yellow jersey and borrowed bikes, not to mention catching everyone out by racing down the descent of the col de Peyresourde on Stage 8 in the Pyrenees. Riding as fast as he could, like he was a kid again and Team Manager Dave Brailsford saying 'who saw that coming', were my moments of the tour. More here.

Along with Mark Cavendish winning 4 stages and Adam Yates taking the white jersey for best young rider, the first ever British winner, it's a brilliant time for British cycling.
