Re: Re:
One of the best? I think he can say that already, whether or not you are a fan, there aren't many with his GT palmares.
But there's no doubt the double will add lustre.
And yes, I think he's sincere about retiring. The article in rouleur - assuming it's accurate - made it very clear he'd had enough.

i don't remember any TdF so stacked with top guys
He's been saying he needs a challenge for a while now.
When I read between the lines it all sounds as though he's got enough money in the bank and isn't turned on by a single GT, hence him taking on both, Giro + TdF.
I also think he is being genuine when he says that he wants to retire at the end of next year.
If he pulls it off (wins GdI + TdF) and then goes to the Vuelta, and wins it, then he can say that he is one of the best.
