Wiggins becomes first Britt to win Tour de France


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.
