We have a winner for the Vulpine Schwag Grab!

Lots of you told us who you favourite cyclist was not it's time to find our winner...

My word that was a popular Schwag Grab and a very interesting read too, but all good things must come to an end and now it's time to find out who will be walking awy with  a stylish Vulpine Soft Shell Jacket AND a Vulpine Merino Button jersey AND a Merino T-Shirt. The random-number-o-meter has been cranked up and the fickle finger of fate has done its pointy schtick and the winner is…

Antonio

Like a lot of you, Antonio's favourite cyclist is Mark Cavendish. A bundle of stylish, technical cycle wear will be winging its way to him asap.

Our lucky winner gets to pedal off with some top class clobber from Vulpine's range of stylish, performance oriented clothing that's technical enough to meet the demands of almost any form of cycling, yet casual enough to work off the bike in equally demanding social environments.

We were well impressed in our reviews of their Merino T and Merino Button jerseys… we've also got the Vulpine SoftShell in on review, but that's being done by Vecchiojo and he's an artist so can't be rushed although it's rumoured to be on the way any day now.

And because we enjoyed this competition so much we're going to run another with some more Vulpine goodies really soon, so fret not if you didn't win this time around.

To find out more about Vulpine visit their website www.vulpine.cc and for the Vulpine view on what's going to happen at the Tour next week visit their blog.

Anyone who just gets out there and rides a bike is my favourite.

I haven't a clue what his name is, but I see this guy nearly everyday. He's well into his eighties rides just bike with full panniers and full weather gear on. I see him go off in the morning and come back in the late afternoon. I even get to wave hello to him sometimes when I'm out on a ride. This guy just chugs along relentless of gradient or weather. I'd Love to be like him now, never mind at his age!

Could say many riders now, and it maybe an unpopular choice but it will always be Lance Armstrong, first started taking an interest in cycling due to him.

David Millar - he was part of everything that was wrong with the sport, and now spearheads the new order of clean cycling. (When he was serving his ban he lived in our village, happy to talk bikes with my boys and always managed a sdmile and a wave to the words "allez Millar" when out training)

Sir Chris Hoy - spent a day with his lovely wife Sarra (then his fiancee) on a wine tour down under in Perth back in 2009 and if she likes him then I guess he must be an OK chap  1

Got me and a whole load of other scots interested in cycling. Many a fond memory of coming in from school to watch the Tour on Channel 4 with my father.
