I'm afraid you will be wishing forever and ever. Froome is already the greatest GT rider of all time, alongside Merckx and Hinault. Big favourite to win this year's Tour again as well.

Merckx and Hinault are way out of reach .... and I would still put Anquetil and Indurain above Chris Froome, at least for the time being ....

Froome isn't even close to those two.

I would agree that those two are still above him. Probably should have said after Merckx and Hinault.

Just no. Please familiarize yourself with the sport's history. In this age of information at our fingertips it should be quite easy.

Yeah, Froome is far more credible & believable! (EDIT: FYI this isn't sarcastic)

Some of these Froome fans are living in an alternate universe, especially considering the present state of affairs with him and his team.

What a disgrace to put Froome name along those like Merckx or Hinault. Shame on you!

Either way, Froome will not win this race anyway and his name will be removed from the Vuelta and Giro books as well.

I think his Giro win was guaranteed not to be taken regardless of the verdict.

I mostly agree with you. The only thing is it sounds like the Giro win stands unless something else comes out.

Nothing is guaranteed, especially cause Lappartient will want to punish him as hard as he can!

He won’t lose the Giro, at this point it’s debatable he will lose the Vuelta, though of course he deserves to.

Really?
You know that how? :surprised:
Sometimes UCI is complicit in Froomes apparent wrong doings, sometimes UCI wants to punish Froome as hard as they can.
Atleast stick to one side. SMH...

Why be the jury of whether he deserves to lose the Vuelta or not?
We already have a jury to decide that.

We're just preparing you for this scenario so that you can have all your crying emoticons lined up and ready to post.
