Y Ddraig Goch au Tour de France.

It's good to see the occasional Welsh flag in the Tour coverage.
Allez Geraint.

If Wales ever go it alone, one positive would be the chance to see a Welsh Nat Champs jersey in Le Tour.

A red dragon in the helicopter shots of riders' back would be very cool.

There is a Welsh Road Race champion.
He is Gruffudd Lewis of Ribble Pro Cycling, but I'm afraid he is not riding the Tour.

Gruffudd is a great name!

Does he wear the champ jersey in races? I do hope there's a massive dragon on it.

It's pronounced Griffith.
No dragon alas.
