Tour de France

Although I'm basically a "once a year" cycling fan,I have found this year's Tour absolutely gripping.The cat-and-mouse battle between Contador and Schleck (2 outstanding riders at the peak of their powers) has been great to watch and today's final mountain stage was the best sporting action I've seen this year.

As well as the head-to-head for the yellow jersey,there has also been a great battle for the Green jersey,featuring Mark Cavendish against Hushovd and others and a really gutsy performance from Bradley Wiggins to hang in there despite being well short of his form last year.

Credit also to ITV for a consistently brilliant evening highlights programme.
