Allez! Allez!

Cycling is my favourite sport so I'm tickled to death that Chris Froome has just won the Tour de France. This is the television picture of the presentation and my all time hero, Eddy Merckx, is third from the left.

My next favourite sport is cricket so today has ended up being a great day with England having won the second test which should be decisive in our retaining The Ashes.
