We have a winner for the Vulpine Schwag Grab!

Lots of you told us who you favourite cyclist was not it's time to find our winner...

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.

Thomas Voeckler. He might not win, but in an age of superteams, wattage and specialists, his panache lights up a race and contributes beauty to the sport.

Jens voigt for the same reason.

My two baby girls, because they love their bikes just for the fun they have; no training programme, their only PB is how far they can get up our hill without dropping.

I'm 64, years young and still getting out there on the bike. I've seen many cyclists over the past 50, years that have achieved high acclamaition in the sport of cycle racing; and I've admired many of them. But, for 2012, I was excited by a young man who last week won the British National Road Race Championship in true style.

My favourite cyclist is my best friend James "Armstrong" Nanji. We did LEJOG together in a very wet April this year. Couldn't have done it without him!

I'm gonna go national, and say Ed Clancy... Superb on the track, and lights up the Tour Series whenever he's riding. Probably the first cyclist I could recognise "in the flesh".

International, would probably be Cav, simply because when I talk cycling with non-cyclists at least they now know who I'm on about. Alongside Sir Chris, Cav has done more than anyone to raise the profile of cycling as a mainstream sport in UK

First, it was Fignon, but then Pantani emerged. If I was pressed to name a current rider, it would be Voeckler.
