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.

Elliot in the movie E.T. got to fly across the face of the moon. No one can beat that.

You know what Malcolm Elliott, was, is class. I remember him at the head of affairs in the Milk Race winching the bunch up Winnat's Pass - them were the days lad!  3

Bill Childs, President of the Sunderland Clarion CC. He knows more about cycling in the north east of England than anyone else I've met, and, at 80+ years old, turns out for Sunday club runs more frequently than I do. Inspirational guy. Of the pros, then Peter Sagan is the most exciting rider to hit the peloton since...ooh... Cav. The way he won the prologue at the Tour de Suisse from under Spartacus' nose was awesome (and just plain rude). What's genuinely scary is that he's barely started yet...

Eugène Christophe, founder of cyclo-cross and whose exploits in the 1913 Tour de France and 1910 Milan-San Remo read like a high concept thriller.

Robert Millar, the reason I grew a pony tail and rode a Peugeot aged 13!! But more recently Thomas Voeckler and Jeremy Roy for attacking constantly!

Eddy Merckx, who didn't quit the tour despite a broken cheekbone so the guy who won wouldn't be told he'd only won coz Eddy had quit!

Has to be Robert Millar, as the only rider from an English-speaking country to have won the Tour de France King of the Mountains title!

Can't go wrong with a diva racer. How about Leontin Van Moorsel!

Beryl Burton. She was so dominant in her sport that she was a sort of British Eddy Merckx. She held the 12 hour record in a time that was quicker than the men's and remains the unbroken women's record to this day. You go girl!
