My word that was a popular Schwag Grab and a very interesting read too, but all good things must come to an end and now it's time to find out who will be walking awy with a stylish Vulpine Soft Shell Jacket AND a Vulpine Merino Button jersey AND a Merino T-Shirt. The random-number-o-meter has been cranked up and the fickle finger of fate has done its pointy schtick and the winner is…

Antonio

Like a lot of you, Antonio's favourite cyclist is Mark Cavendish. A bundle of stylish, technical cycle wear will be winging its way to him asap.

Our lucky winner gets to pedal off with some top class clobber from Vulpine's range of stylish, performance oriented clothing that's technical enough to meet the demands of almost any form of cycling, yet casual enough to work off the bike in equally demanding social environments.

We were well impressed in our reviews of their Merino T and Merino Button jerseys… we've also got the Vulpine SoftShell in on review, but that's being done by Vecchiojo and he's an artist so can't be rushed although it's rumoured to be on the way any day now.

And because we enjoyed this competition so much we're going to run another with some more Vulpine goodies really soon, so fret not if you didn't win this time around.

To find out more about Vulpine visit their website www.vulpine.cc and for the Vulpine view on what's going to happen at the Tour next week visit their blog.

Has to be my riding companion, Malrees. When diagnosed with diabetes he said, buy a bike. He rode out with me everyday to help me get fit enough and gradually, without me realising it, got me fit enough for cycling holidays with kit, all in 6 months. A good friend who always made me fix my bike and smiled when i decided to ditch a car for good!

Well i would say myself, but thats slightly big headed

The whole reason I took up cycling is thanks to Channel 4 during the early 90's with Gary Imlach and Phil Liggett. The cyclist being Miguel Indurain. He got me out on the road, cycling stupidly long distances before i'd even started school.

I'm fairly new to following cycling but i would have to say mark cavendish.Not just because he's the fastest man on two wheels but its his passion when he wins or even sometimes loses.

My Dad, from teaching me to ride (and take apart bikes), family cycling holidays in Holland, meeting him in rural Essex when I was cycling one way and he happened to meet me while going the other way. To doing 50 miles with him last year (when he was 70). I wouldn't be a cyclist without him.

David Millar. First cycling race I ever watched was the TDF stage from London to Canterbury. Didn't understand a thing but saw a British rider going on a ridiculous solo breakaway off the front and loved every second of it. Bit more knowledgeable I hope...

George Hincapie - Always giving his all for other riders who have had the glory but a solid presence throughout his career. A close second would be my parents neighbour (Mark the postie) who sold my brother & I post-office bikes for a tenner a time throughout our teenage years.

Having met the amazing Ben Rockett at the BikeBath event last weekend, he gets my whole hearted vote and support - what an inspirational rider, beating a truly awe inspiring endurance cycling record (legogle) which is beyond comprehension and such a nice bloke with it too!!
