Chris Froome

Chris Froome belongs in any honest conversation about cycling greatness. Four Tour de France titles, plus a Giro and two Vueltas, add up to seven Grand Tour wins, a tally that places him among the sport's true monsters. Three Vélo d'Or trophies and an OBE only underline it. What moves me most, though, is the narrative: a rider raised in Kenya climbing to the summit of European road racing. That arc is pure romance. I never tire of watching his long, grinding climbs, and my respect for him is total.
