Froome was certainly the Grand Tour rider of his generation, and one of the all-time greats. Cycling was lucky to have him, with his quiet, humble, and workman-like approach to competition. It was a shame his reign ended so brutally and suddenly. The sport is fortunate once more that such a wealth of generational talent has come along to replace him, with MVDP, Van Aert, Roglic, Vingegaard, and Pogacar. It's especially cool to see the gracious exuberance of Pogacar in such contrast to Froome's reserve, or Armstrong's grim competitiveness.

I believe that Lemond came back from a near-death gunshot wound and won 2 Tours at the start of the EPO age, and the only thing he injected was iron.

I love that this guy constantly reminds us that he may be the only real miracle story, a heroic comeback to win 2 Tours at the start of the EPO era using only iron injections.

It is odd that it's still a thing. Those guys know less about modern pro cycling than most casual fans. Though people here the comments section still like to talk about them, so I guess there is a market.

I hope Van Aert can come back once more. He is one of the transcendent talents of this era, but he has had such terrible accidents. It's hard to imagine the will and dedication it takes to rehabilitate and remount.

Chad was a heroin user and dealer, by his own admission. Kinda nuts how some people are pro-heroin but anti-EPO. Unless you are Chad, in which case I understand how you are pro-heroin.

Not Chad Gerlach. He only used heroin (and sold a little on the side). I think that is okay since it doesn't make you go fast.

Thank goodness the only clean rider to ever win the Tour has given his half-hearted blessing to Pogacar. Thank goodness for iron injections.
