The Tour Blues - TDF 2012

Well the 2012 Tour de France is done and dusted for another year. The final stage along the Champs Elysees didn't disappoint with the fastest man on the planet Mark Cavendish (Team Sky) taking the stage win, his fourth on the famous Avenue.

TDF 12 will definitely be remembered as the year that Team Sky dominated, not only the General Classification with Bradley Wiggins taking yellow but also with Mark Cavendish finishing it off beautifully.

There has been highs and lows in this years tour, and that is a post for another day, right now I am trying ward off the 'Tour Blues'. Once the sleep bank is again in credit (remember I am here Australia and three weeks of 1am or later bedtimes), the tour blues will no doubt set in.

But not for long, with the London Olympics and the road and time trials only days away that will surely offset the withdrawals. And then it won't be long until the Veulta a Espana is ready to take off - and won't that be an awesome race!

For now though I am looking forward to an early night and processing the memories of this years edition.

Do you get the tour blues?
