Swift excited at challenge ahead

Team Sky's Ben Swift says he's excited by the challenges ahead as he makes his Tour de France debut starting this weekend.

The 24 year-old from Rotherham will be competing with the likes of Bradley Wiggins and Geraint Thomas as they look to record the highest ever finish by a Brit at the event. Wiggins finished joint-higest for a Brit in 2009 as he ended up in 4th place, matching Scotsman Robert Millar's achievement back in 1984.
