After 109 years of waiting, Great Britain finally clinched its greatest ever sporting achievement - a debut victory in the Tour de France - with a poise and collective domination by its number one squad, Team Sky, rarely, if ever, matched in the race's hallowed annals. Mutton-chopped Londoner Bradley Wiggins, 32, and his blue-clad Sky troops brushed aside everything the Tour could throw at him: brutal first week crashes, relentless media pressure, hooligans sabotaging the roads with nails and flares, mammoth time trials and infernal Alpine and Pyrenean mountain stages. Not to mention the threat of treason from within the ranks of Sky itself.
