Bradley Wiggins vence o Tour de France 2012

Bradley Wiggins conquista pela primeira vez o título do Tour de France, depois de vencer a décima-nona etapa, uma prova de contra-relógio. O ciclista da Team Sky completou os 53,5 km do trajeto com o tempo de 1h 04m 13s. Christopher Froome, seu companheiro de equipe e compatriota, chegou em segundo, 1m 16s depois, e o pódio foi completado por Luis Leon Sanchez, da equipe Rabobank, 1m 50s após.

Wiggins liderou a competição depois da etapa, 3m 21s na frente de Froome, situação que não se alterou, já que a última prova, entre Rambouillet e Champs-Élysées, pelas regras da competição, não conta para a classificação geral. Com o título de Bradley, a Inglaterra obtém seu primeiro tento na história do Tour de France.

"Não consigo explicar o que sinto neste momento. Nos últimos dez quilômetros, sabia que estava à frente, e ainda assim tinha energia. Recordo-me de todo o trabalho feito até chegar aqui, a decepção de 2010, quando fui vigésimo-quarto, a de 2011, quando quebrei a clavícula, e também do triunfo no Paris-Nice, e das perguntas que me fizeram sobre se não estaria logo em forma. Finalmente, conquistei o Tour", disse Wiggins.
