Bradley Wiggins has been crowned Britain's first Tour de France champion, becoming an instant sporting hero at home just ahead of the London Olympics -- in which he hopes to star again.
Wiggins finished the three-week cycling epic with a 3min 21sec lead over British team-mate Chris Froome after Sunday's 20th and last stage to Paris.
He also helped Sky team-mate Mark Cavendish to secure an unprecedented fourth consecutive stage win on the Champs Elysees.
