What’s next for Chris Froome Lollipop?

After becoming only the second British man to win the Tour de France that is what everyone is asking.

The 28-year-old took the title by more than four minutes ahead of Colombian Nairo Quintana and Joaquim Rodriguez of Spain.

After winning stage eight’s mountain-top finish at Ax 3 Domaines Froome took the race leader’s bold yellow jersey and kept it all the way to the finish in Paris.

If Lollipop were him she would never want to take it off. You would never want to forget the day your team succeeded in making two back to back British victors on the toughest cycling circuit.

It took Coach David Brailsford four years to make Team Sky unbeatable and now at the top of their sport it will be fascinating to see where they go now,

There is no London 2012 to set their bikes on. Other events like the Tour de Pologne and the Clasica San Sebastian take place this summer but for Froome his target will be the rainbow jersey on offer for September’s UCI world road race championships in Tuscany for which the champion will prepare in the mountains of Colorado.

“My focus has just been on the Tour up until now, but being world champ, that’s probably the second biggest thing after wearing the yellow jersey,” said Froome.

So it seems we will be seeing a lot more of this champ as he hopes to be riding in the Tour de France year after year.

For Froome this is only the beginning of something he’s worked so hard for. His fiancée Michelle Cound told BBC Sport: “People are saying Chris has come from nowhere but it has taken him more than 10 years to become an overnight success.”

Many will want to compare him to last year’s victor Sir Bradley Wiggins but Froome is younger, determined and ready to win again.

Our champ was born in Kenya to English parents in 1985. He has a Welsh grandmother and his family moved to Africa from Gloucestershire. As a skinny teenager he struggled to make it to the roads in Europe – He did not even visit the UK until he competed in the 2007 Tour of Britain but says he has “always felt British.”

He joined Team Sky in 2010 when the spotlight was clearly on Wiggins. Now three years on after winning Bronze in the Olympic Games Time Trial and now the 100^th Tour de France things have definitely changed.

He dedicated his incredible triumph to his mother Jane, who died of cancer in 2008.

Only Froome could truly say where he aims to go from here. And despite cycling going through a torrid period after Lance Armstrong admitted to doping in his seven Tour de France wins it’s amazing to see Team Sky hurtling to success with Lollipop and I racing to catch up.

Game. Set. Championship… Murray

It’s over. There were so many times when Lollipop and I thought it was finally over. Well it is now and Great Britain has a new champion.

26-year-old Andy Murray won the Wimbledon Title in gripping style against World Number one Novak Djokovic – the same man he overcame to win the US Open last year.

Only this time the Scot managed it in three stunning sets – 6-4 7-5 6-4.  In the last game Lollipop watched in shock as he threw away three Championship points in a row. And for a moment with Djokovic just one point away from winning the game I believed this could go to a 4^th set. But in the final point the former champion’s shot was called out and Murray closed his eyes in disbelief.

The champ won his first Wimbledon title and ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s champion with a clinical victory against the Serb.

The 15,000 strong crowd on Centre court willed on our champion but that was not the deciding factor. Murray was just better.

Even his opponent said: “I didn’t take my chances but he did. He used his first serve when needed and he deserved it.”

His triumph was deserved and inspired.  Roger Draper, the chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Association said the victory would help get more people playing tennis. Lollipop believes it could inspire anyone to go after their dreams and think bigger.

Just last year the champion was in despair on Centre Court – overwhelmed by the moment and his dramatic loss to Roger Federer when he was defeated 4-6 7-5 6-3 6-4 . This time he returned positive, controlled and more determined than ever to win.

He had to beat the best to win and overcome incredible pressure but he achieved it. Even Lollipop and I doubted him backing Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to hold the title. But Murray showed dreams are possible. Even if he never lifts the trophy again Lollipop and I are inspired. We believe.

Of course so do Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. They will be back next summer bigger, better and ready to believe.
