    Tommy takes it for me by a small margin. I was practically in tears today when he realised he couldn't stay with Bert etc and kissed his wedding ring and bracelet.

    Yeah, just before doing that, he checked there was a live tv camera pointing at him. Very moving Thomas.

    why bother if no-one is watching?

    My vote still goes to Voeckler. And though I don't really like Contador it was a shame to see him fade right at the end like that. Good for Roland though
    Coffee is not my cup of tea

    Kinesis Crosslight Pro 6 winter commuter
    Gunnar Hyper X

    Evans - he has been iron this year. Tommy clOsw second though.

    Being British, I've got to go for the underdog.
    Voeckler it is!
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    Thor, by a mile.
    Voeckler - has done really well but I can't vote for him given that he saw Flecha and Hoogerland get nailed by that car, and just shook his head and carried on to his own personal glory.
    Honourable mention to G Thomas.

    Thor for me. Up to the Tour, I thought he'd had a pretty rubbish year and was being hit by the curse of the rainbow bands. But he's had a magnificent tour and performed brilliantly.

    Thor seems to always make good in the Tour.

    Pretty sure he's won something in every Tour he's been in.

    He seems to have missed out in 2003. But he has a terrific record of finding some way, however surprising, to do something (and he's done 11 Tours now).

    I voted Evans, but it was a toss up with Voeckler.
