Congratulations to Mark Cavendish on the stage win. (And to Bradley Wiggins and the rest of Team Sky for the fabulous lead out.) Fantastic sprint. Just perfect.

Congratulations to Peter Sagan for winning the green jersey, to Thomas Voeckler for winning the polka dot jersey, and to Tejay Van Garderen for being the best young rider. As the commentators would say, "You're all crack riders."

It was a fantastically beautiful Tour with an equally as beautiful send off for who is perhaps my favorite rider: the phenomenal George Hincapie. He's ridden in a record breaking 17 Tours, and is retiring in a few months. I even got a little teary-eyed as the peloton ushered him to the front to be the first onto the avenue to lead the group onto the Champs-Élysées. A very special honor for a very deserving rider.

And finally, to Phil, Paul, Bob: you've done it again. Thank you for a most excellent commentary over these past three weeks. It has been a pleasure, indeed, listening to you each morning. Until next year.
Vive le Tour.
