Obviously a superb tour, Wiggins delivered as expected in the time trials and after the display on La Planche des Belles Filles was untroubled on the climbs. Given that they lost Siutsou on day three, his five man pace squad (along with Eisel and Cav for a ceremonial amount of time) dominated the tour really. To such an extent it made it a little dull in places, I don't feel as if that is Sky's fault the opposition simply was not strong enough.

The headline this morning is that Cavendish may have to move on if he wants to go back to five or six stage wins in a tour (but with Sagan and Greipal around I think those days may be over anyway). Six stage wins and the top two on GC, it doesn't get much better really, like to think they are more 1985 La Vie Claire than 1996 Team Telekom. Froome could be like Lemond now and really be a super GTour rider.

Nibali showed a little more than he did at last year's Giro, but it is hard to see on this evidence that he will be good enough to win Le Tour. He is a good bike handler, doesn't crash often and downhills extremely well. But we do see him tailled off from the favourites from time to time - but battles hard when having a bad day a la Scarponi and Evans. Has improved his time trialling, but not by as much as Paul and Phil seemed to imagine (they forget Nibali's Vuelta win was set up by a strong TT performance). The sad thing for Liquigas is Nibali is moving to another (Astana probably) not sure whether this will work for Nibali.

Sagan was brilliant, was impressed that one of his three stage wins came from a flat out sprint. This guy could win that green jersey over and over again if he wanted too. Was in breakaways as well and we recall an exploring type of classics season for him. Milan San Remo should be in his range next year, perhaps the Ardennes or cobbles as well.

Voeckler and Rolland confirmed last years performance. Voeckler continues to delight, enlivening the Pyrenees with an enthralling capture of the polkadots jersey along with two fantastic stage wins. Rolland for me struggled in the Pyrenees after a brilliant Alps stage win, it seems as if that stage win was the main aim this year. Cannot see the guy progressing much further though.

Pinot looks the real deal, kept it going pretty well in the Pyrenees. Needs to continue to improve though which may be tough at FdJeux. Great memories of Madiot urging his young charge on to his stage win.

'The American with a dutch sounding name' - that's what Sherwin has labelled the young American of dutch descent - we get it Sherwin he ain't Dutch. Van Garderen had a great Tour, his time trialling is very strong and he climbed well enough. Surprised to see headlines on cyclingnews saying one more year for Evans then we will go all out for TvG - Evans is done for me. Hincapie, TvG and a battling former champion allow me to ignore a horrible tour (and year) for Gilbert.

Van den Broeck and Vanendert had a few digs and VdB got a decent GC result (though no better than what he had done previously). A real shame that VdB had a mechanical on La Planche des Belles Filles as I think he could have pushed Nibali a little closer. That said I think we can see VdB's limit now, Vanendert has not kicked on from that brilliant stage win last year a shame.

But the success here was Greipel and his three stage wins - sadly faded towards the end robbing us of a big battle in Paris. A very solid sprinter who can outsprint anyone on his day, such a valuable commodity.

Loved the battling performance of Cancellara, Horner and Voigt. Kloden, Zubeldia and Monfort also did the best they could to deliver the unloved teams classification (yes those helmets were horrible - the yellow numbers were not good but the helmets were gah). Lacked a stage win and had a positive for a banned substance which underlines the farcical season for the Schlecks.

It's a team in complete disarray really when you consider the Fuglsang situation as well. Can they pull a Zaugg from nowhere in the Post Tour season? Andy Schleck at the Vuelta - I have my doubts.

Horrific first week with crashes, would have been fascinating to see how Hesjedal would have got on (probable top 10 I think). Brilliant recovery with a breakaway win with Millar. I don't like Vaughters little poor man act midway through the tour. He had a super - team with Garmin - Cervelo and then had that infamous 'don't chase' moment. That said always give good value and got their GTour win at the Giro which is a great result for the team. Dan Martin sucked (Though tried).

Valverde always looked a long shot for GC, never a factor on the punchy stages but did well to take the stage win. He clearly remains popular at home, so how do they play the Vuelta now? Cobo looked like he was building form nicely throughout, but Valverde also looks like he has done the same.

The stage win and numerous breakaways meant Movistar as expected after a good Tour de Suisse win were good value.

Did as well as could be expected on GC with Brajkovic, were always looking to be active and challenge where they could. Kessiekoff challanged for the Polkadots and old man Vino looked to take a stage win. Clearly have a few transfer targets and have the look of a team without a reliable stage race leader at the moment. Kiserlowski, Brajkovic, Kessiekoff etc. would make fantastic domestiques for a guy with GC ambitions.

You have got to hand it to them, Morkov and CA Sorenson kept trying over and again. Sorenson was somehow in the King of the Mountains fight despite never really looking the best climber in the big breakaways. But he kept battling away and that hand looked horrible. The sprint trains were a little bizarre, usually coming to the front just to show their faces and say hey we have Haedo before being shut out of it. The new sponsor situation is clearly uplifting and guess who is just about to come back... You sense a big Vuelta performance coming up.

Petacchi was never a factor, their jersey is noticable but was never there when it mattered. After a disappointing Giro, looks like this year will be a Grand Tour washout.

Peraud clearly had other distractions, like a Olympics and a child, yet he was one of their best riders. Roche failed to make the top ten again (narrowly this time admittedly), strange that we never really see Roche do anything but prepare and ride Grand Tours. Eight riders got round and other than Peraud or Roche the rest did very little but make up the numbers.

Guido Mukk refused to get excited by Taaramae being the last one to drop on La Planche des Belles Filles. The rest of us thought hey that was a hell of a ride, there is always a problem with the young Estonian. But that doesn't excuse another washout of a tour, team seem to be relying on Moncoutie and Dumoulin for the upteenth year. Obviously they are small budget against the big boys, but need to justify their inclusion to the Tour.

Okay this is just their second tour and Feillu had a decent day in the Pyrenees and went in a fair few breakaways. But when you look at Europcar, you wish that this team could come someway towards matching them. Coppel fancies himself as a Bradley Wiggins clone, but the guy can't climb or TT with anywhere near the quality required, I know he is what 25. Was disappointed with Simon and Leverlet thought they could have shown something.

A race to forget, for a team that have shown well this year through Westra and De Gendt in particular. I wonder whether De Gendt will do the tour next year? I fancied Poels to do a good GC, I think it is always difficult for a team when your best guy goes. Were Westra or Larsson injured? Hoogerland was disappointing I have to say.

You always suspected Menchov and Freire were a little long in the tooth, and with Tinkoff going with Saxo you wonder what the future is for Katusha? Some of the others were seen in breaks, but no-one could step up once Menchov failed. Last year's all Russian tour was a failure, this one was not any better.

Okay LL Sanchez did well individually with a little help from his Rabobank friends. But that was a little like Boassen Hagen winning for Sky last year, a consolation prize. The unseemly sight of Ten Dem's spittle hanging out on a Pyreneen climb is the type of sight you wish for Mt Baldy at Tour of Crappyfornia. Gesink, Mollema, Kruijswijk the big three stage racing Dutch hopes were here - such a disappiontment to see little from them. I think Mollema and Gesink could certainly podium a Grand Tour (not exactly a bold statement I know) but not this one I think. Keldermann (who wasn't here) looks exciting.

Desperate tour really, Martin's puncture in the prologue destroyed their plan A. Velits and Leipheimer clearly struggling for form before the tour could not discover anything like their best climbing. Velits TTed okay and Chavanel gave a few bursts, but certainly not the best tour for any of their riders.

Wanted to act like hey isn't it great that we are here at the end, but I thought their first tour sucked. Have had a good first year in cycling with a stage win at the Giro, some good TT results and sneaky MSR/Catalunya wins. But a bit like Sky, the mass international media will judge you on your Tour results and returned very little despite going with the veterans card. Had their big three here in Goss, Gerrans and Albasini (all three look past their best for the season). Goss looked sluggish against Greipel, Cav and Sagan, the headline was the desperate disqualification - was not likely to challenge Sagan anyway.

Usually seen slipping off the back of the pack, that aint a good sign. Made the decision to go all in for Kittel, understandable after he outsprinted Greipel and Cav at the KLM tour (the decision was probably made before then). Kittel obviously got hurt which was a shame and then Veelers (who is a great final lead-out) was doing a decent repair job. Then he went and got hurt, then team was stuck with not a lot. Threatened to do a Milram and do lead-outs with out a sprinter at one point and no that is not a good thing!
