You wait 100 years, then two come at once..
Last year Bradley Wiggins became the first Briton to win the gruelling Tour de France and just 12 months later here comes another. Chris Froome, who was Wiggins' team mate last year, has dominated the Tour for the last two weeks, winning several big mountain stages. Today's stage to Paris traditionally allows the leader to finish unchallenged and with a lead of over 5 minutes it would take a catastrophic injury to prevent Froome's triumph.
