Could a Brit win the TDF 2007?

Fourth is great, but that's one stage. Not the Tour as a whole. Both Wiggins and Millar could take a flat stage (more likely Millar since I think Saunier Duval is a slightly better team). But when Bradley and Millar get into the hills, their tour is really over. It's a tremendous achievment just to get through those stages, within the time cut offs, at all. And the riders, even at 150th, have my admiration for doing it.

But the OP mentioned winning the Tour and it's a long, long way from that being a possiblity. We were closer to the money with Tom Simpson and Robert Miller in the past. But a long way away from it just right now.

Personally I cheer for Millar. I think he was about 58th or something last year. But I felt proud of him and I just wish the cameras had followed him a bit more to let us seem his race. But, they're French cameras, so no chance of that. It's the greatest race, and our guys have my support whether they are 5th, or 50th.

Nah I can't see it happening! Brits are useless and over rated. E.g. David Beckham

I always enjoy reading a well reasoned and intelligent post. Your's wasn't one of them though.
