Who were the best riders in the 2013 Tour de France? GCN picked our favourite riders out from this year's race. Follow GCN on youTube: http://gcn.eu/gcnsubs
Now that the dust has settled on the 100th edition of the Tour de France, we decided to take a look back at one of our favourite tours for years and see how our predictions of who to look out for tied up with who really impressed us.
Simon Gerrans and his unselfish riding to put his teammate Daryl Impey in the yellow jersey, Mollema and his stage 13 heroics, Riblon's amazing ride up Alpe d'Huez on stage 18, Rui Costa of Movistar and of course Chris Froome all make our list of 2013's best riders in the legendary Tour de France, but who else is in there?
More to the point, have we got it right? Who are your Tour de France 2013 riders of the tour? Tell us in the comments!
