Repost from ESPN Sports July 21, 2013

Eric Froome is the second Brit to win the Tour de France; last year it was Sir Bradley Wiggins; who unfortunately did not join this year's tour due to injuries.  He is a member of the Sky Team and his victory shows the strong following of cycling in UK.

Froome won the 8th stage at Pyrenees and never relinquished the lead.

His winning margin of 4 minutes 20 secs was the largest since 1997.  In the late afternoon finish that bathed the Champ Elysees in yellow golden light was the first.
