Marco Pantani (Wikimedia Commons:Hein Ciere)Live blog: Froome aims to emulate Pantani Giro/Tour double, and more
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

An end of season used pro bike for £1500 is affordable, just choose the rider carefully.

I'd imagine the last person Froome would want to emulate is Pantani.. a tortured soul who met a tragic end.
I believe the internet may actually explode once we get an official answer on the Froome case from the authorities.
Froome to emulate Pantani... Not any where near in the narco stakes yet mate!
No, nowhere near Narco Pantani.
Give it a few years and Froome will be found dead in a Premier Inn surrounded by a mountain of blu inhalers.
I've had the pleasure of meeting some very forward podium girls.
Forward enough to make me blush...
That Uran kiss thing... looks just wrong to me..
Uran- I'm the winner, I have power, kiss me. That woman, whether she minded or not had little choice in the matter and was forced to kiss a very small probably sweat stained man.
Trump'esque, bahaviour.
Asks and get's FTFY.
