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.

Being Scottish it has to be Robert Millar, great climber.

Fignon, for his insane story from the Tour of Columbia. Out all night, sampling some of the local marching powder, didn't sleep a wink, got on the bike, dominated the stage for the win. They don't build em like that any more.

Last of the riders from the golden age.

Robert Millar has to be up there due to being at his peak when I was a callow youth getting interested in cycling. But it has to be Graeme Obree for his innovation, stubbornness, persistence in the face of adversity, wit, and just being a complete bike geek without getting remotely materialistic about it. So looking forward to his HPV speed record attempt.

Hard, hard question. of the pros, Robert Millar for climbing brilliance, Jens Voigt for sheer, brutal persistence or Fabian Cancellara for speed and power. I can't choose between them... on the other hand (or saddle), it probably has to be my tandem stoker and partner, Em.
