I've had another great time working on the Tour de France for a few days. I was lucky enough to see Chris Froome win on Stage 8 with that unique but effective descent of the Peyresourde where he distanced his rivals by sitting on the top tube and pedalling downhill!I caught up with Sir Dave Brailsford just a few minutes after the stage...

Another stage winner at this year's Tour was Steve Cummings who won a superb solo-effort on stage 7 up and over the Col d'Aspin in the Pyrenees. I spoke to him about it a couple of days later...

I also interviewed a rather touchy Mark Cavendish about his Tour and didn't get much out of him!
Lesson in life, don't ask Mark Cavendish 2 last Qs! Cav says he hopes to be at final #TdF stage in Paris #bbccycling pic.twitter.com/zBe4DWccdQ— Mark Ansell (@MarkAnsell) July 10, 2016
