y first… memory of the My dad always says he used to stick the Tour on TV when I was younger and I would just lie on him while he watched it. I was about two or three years old. But I can also remember watching the race around 2008, and even watching some when Lance [Armstrong] was winning before then. Being British, I remember Cav [Mark Cavendish] winning all those stages and also [Bradley] Wiggins winning in 2012. So I have fond memories of the Tour.
