    Ooops, didn't mean to hit submit there. Yes, Jimmy won with a 32" gap over Jan. The Buddhist was in third place.

    In total, Jimmy spent 3 HOURS 57 MINUTES 36 SECONDS longer in the saddle than Bradleee.

    All 153 finishers are heroes, but the perseverance, sheer bluddy mindedness and determination to keep pedalling when every atom of your body is ordering you to stop is worthy of as much admiration as an entire School of Sky's Secret Squirrels.

    And mentioned in dispatches for glorious fortitude and dedication are...........

    Brice Feillu and The Buddhist.

    Last post- it looks like Danilo Hondo and Mikael Cherel were relegated to last place, but the rider who took the Lanterne on Stage 20 was Christophe Kern who spend 3' and 13" longer on the route than Mr Darcy.
