Today Christopher Froome won the 19th stage of the Giro in heroic fashion. Among experts, the victory rekindled memories of the great champions Landis, Armstrong and Pantani. "With this, Froome joins illustrious company", tells cycling commentator Maarten Zonnekroon. "A real flashback. It makes you think of Pantani on the Galibier, Landis on the Joux-Plane, Armstrong on the way to Hautacam. Fantastic."
You have to ask yourself how these types of men can do it," added José Dijsktra. It's like Claudio Chiapucci on his way to Sestrière in 1992. Or Roberto Heras in 2005 in the rain in Asturia. Or Rasmussen. Or Virenque. And so on. Only the all time greats, who mostly raced in the 1990s, can manage this sort of feat.”
