Re: Re:
Looking at it like that I'll concede Froome has a better record at the Tour, I think Contador sticks in the memory because of his racing style and clinic or not the VAM record on Verbier was the single greatest climbing performance of modern times and I'm no Contador fanMatParker1711 said:StryderHells said:MatParker1711 said:LaFlorecita said:If Froome right now is close to legendary status then Cancellara, Cavendish, Boonen, Nibali, Valverde, Contador, Gilbert heck even Evans and maybe mythical Denis Menchov should all be considered legends out of the current generation of riders... that's stretching it a bit, don't you think?
Not really they've all done unique things in this sport and in some cases are there nations greatest ever cyclist. I include Chris Froome in that who has a better record in the sports biggest event than all of those names.
Contador rates higher than Froome when it comes to the Tour, we will have to wait and see as it could all change next season. When it comes to the greatest regarding nations then I'd rate Wiggins and Cavendish higher than Froome at this stage
Not according to the record books he doesn't:
Contador:
2 wins
1 White Jersey
3 stages
Froome:
2 wins
Polka Dots
