AC showed incredible heart and soul trying to come back from all the time deficit he faced, crashes, etc.
I would have loved if it were Cadel, TV and AC on the podium...Shlecks show little class and humility...not to mention horrible descending and TT skills.
Cadel was the best, hands down, what a great champion!
PS -- I hope George breaks the record next year!

Marianne Vos (@marianne_vos) tweeted a nice quote today:
Thinking back on #TdF this quote of Churchill comes up: 'Success is not final, failure not fatal; it's the courage to continue that counts'.

I literally laughed out loud at the cut-out of Zabriske. For some reason I thought that was really funny - and sweet.

One more post TdF indulgence link: pictures from The Atlantic In Focus feature. Some unusual shots, like Sammy Sanchez shoe next to an award presenter's one.
