i thought Froome was a smart rider.
I think it was Helmut Roole on cycling forums about 7 or 8 years ago, i could search him, but I am not even sure it was Helmet, and have not posted there for about 6 years.
I think Helmut said, Lance was just too greedy, he needed to let others win the Tour and retire. This is before 2005 he meant, because I think the post would have been circa ~2007.
the point i wish to make, Froome should not get greedy, because, each extra win the chances increase exponentially that they will go after him and bust him in the future. It is not independent variables. Each extra year, it is a different equation, much more likely.
so there is the tension between, millions and lucre, and being busted. I think the longer he goes, he will be wealthier even if he gets busted. I think that stood for Armstrong too. even tho he may have lost about 50million in nominal sponsorships after Tygart. But Armstrong had to form his cancer brand in America, and he needed to win 6 or 7 Tours so he would be the go-to guy for those Ben Stiller/ Jud Apatow execrable lowbrow comedies.
