    I thought that was a lot of fun. I think its great that the modern riders have much respect for the legends from the past. It is because of guys like Eddy Merckx that the sport is so international and the season is so long today.

    Wiggins says that only Merckx and him won Dauphiné Liberé and Tour de France on the same year. He forgets Indurain won both races in 1995.

      He does not, Wiggins is honestly admiring Merckx and proud he could match at least a few of Merckx's feats. If you were to ask him who is the GOAT he would respond Merckx without hesitation.

    Bitter wiggins about Froome still!!Froome worked his balls off for him and helped him win the tour. Wiggins is the first Brit to win it and will be remembered more for being the first than Froome’s multiple wins. What did wiggins expect Froome to stay as a domestic wasting his talent and ambition so that Wiggins could win it a few more times.
