This has been the greatest day in the history of British cycling: Bradley Wiggins becoming the first Brit to win the Tour de France as Mark Cavendish claimed his fourth consecutive final-stage victory.

With Team Sky teammate Chris Froome completing a Tour de France 1:2 for Britain it just does not get any better than this.

With London 2012 just six days away and Team GB favourites to win more cycling gold medals this is a golden generation for a sport where quite literally the sky’s the limit for Britain’s elite.
