oh I see, yeah. My bad, as you young uns said about 5 years ago

No, by the way. TdF was the bigger achievement. To win it you have to be team leader, with an entire strong team working for you. But to get to that position, and then follow it through and win it, is a huge achievement, and one that's taken about 4 fours years of graft. Not surprising that no Brit has even done it before, or even been close.
