Thanks Ryder for a great tour. You really made our TDF season extra special. It was a thrill to cheer a Canadian to Paris. You had many brilliant moments and we look forward to watching you in future races. I just know there is a podium finish in your future.

Go Ryder Go,

A superb finish that only got higher and higher, stage by stage!

Thank you Ryder for a great performance. You make each and every one of us Canadians extremely proud. I am a retiree and an avid cyclist so I had the opportunity to watch for you each and every day. Once again Go Ryder Go and thanks for the memories and I hope you give us many more.

PROUD PROUD PROUD--Canadian cycling is alive and well and with Ryder we now have a a new hero.

Nice work Ryder...Congratulations on a spectacular TdeF...eh!!

So proud for Canadian cycling continue the spectacular work!!!!

Another great effort yesterday, in the TT. I like the way you re-set your goals. You don't just accept a top ten, after you get it...you go out and better that, with a 7th. Congratulations Ryder; you made this TDF something special, and all of Canada proud.Enjoy your time off after the Tour, and we all look forward to your next effort. Thanks Ryder...it was great!!

Will the Ryder t-shirts ever be available for your hordes of rabid fans?  I'd love to buy some for our young boys who are rabid BMXers!  Check this out, Ryder:
