2K until Froome makes history.
History for winning the french race?

Only the seventh rider to win yellow and polka dot.
That isn't history then.

That's like saying winning the Giro-Tour double isn't history either as AC would have been the 8th rider to do so
Indeed, that wouldn't have been "making history". Making history is if you do something that's never been done before (in my opinion).

Yeah. Or that AC hasn't made history by winning all 3 GT's because he was the 5th rider to do so.

Why are you being so sour? It is history. Nobody claimed it was a first. You would be all over it Alberto managed it.
Lol no. Just can't stand how everything Froome does is holy in the eyes of the British Sky fanboys.

People rightfully respected him for a big achievement. One that no rider in the current peloton has achiebed.

You are capable of some great and knowledgable posts, it is a pity that those standards dont get met as often when Alberto doesnt win.
