We have a winner for the Vulpine Schwag Grab!
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.
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

You can see the effect of a 'way too late' opening of this comp, with my dismal results! Wrecked a good start to my season.

It was off my list of helmets worth buying as soon as I saw someone had named it "Game Changer".

Looks valid to me although on a black Mercedes C Class. Last V5 issued 25th April (2 days ago) so maybe plate was being transferred.

My dad, owner of a beautiful Holdsworth touring bike made in the late 1940s
Walter Greaves. Only one arm, a vegetarian commie troublemaker, he mangaged to ride over 45,000 miles in one year, 1936. On his own. In one of the worst winters on record. With many accidents, two weeks in hospital. On a heavy steel bike.
Emma Pooley.
Fausto Coppi
Pedro Delgrado, he even inspired fay Scottish indie musos!
Graeme Obree - inspirationally crazy!
Robert Millar
Greg le monde
Merckx - absolutely the best with Pantani, substances notwithstanding, a distant second and my wife Lizzie an even more distant third.

Another vote for Victoria Pendleton from me!
Lance Armstrong, never failed a doping test enough said.

Mick Murphy who won the Rás Tailteann Ireland's most prestigious cycle race in 1958 after breaking a collarbone, escaping body-snatchers, stealing a bike, drinking cow’s blood and riding very fast and hard. See: http://www.kerrycycling.com/2009/12/mick-murphy-the-iron-man/
Mark Cavendish
Tommy Godwin. I met him outside a cafe and we had a short chat about cycling. He said he hated the hills and I must be mad (we were in Hawes). It was only when his daughter (?) told me that he had been in the 1948 Olympics that I figured out who he was. Still riding most days too.

Nick Hussey - my hero!!
Mark Cavendish
For me the inspiration is Graeme Obree
My son aged 4. Because every time we go out for him to learn to ride and he coasts a bit further, I get to imagine all the future rides and adventures we're going to have together and it fills me with excitement like nothing else.
Hard to choose. Between Joop Zoetemelk, Sean Kelly and Graeme Obree for me. Probably Graeme Obree, for being an amazing athlete while daring to be unconventional (and a nice guy to boot, the one time I've chatted to him).
Steve Peat!!
Sir Chris Hoy.
I great cyclist and a superb role model.
Indurain or Cancellara the horse
Geraint Thomas - inspirational break in the Pyrenees last year, much more to come from him I hope!
