Merckx reste le plus grand, Pogačar n'a pas fini de nous surprendre.
Induráin, cinq Tours consécutifs, quel monstre en contre-la-montre.
Hinault, le dernier Français vainqueur en 1985... ça commence à faire long 😅
Merckx reste le plus grand coureur de tous les temps, point.
Pogačar en tête, il est en train de tout casser. Quatre Tours déjà !
