Is this a first - three English-speaking Grand Tour winners?
Assuming Simon Yates hangs on to his Vuelta lead (not a sure thing, I know), this year's Grand Tour winners will be Froome, Thomas and Yates - all English speakers. Is this the first time all three of the GT winners of the year were English speakers?
Not a big deal, obviously, but an interesting little factoid if it's true, thirty-five years or so after Phil Anderson wore the yellow jersey in the Tour for a few days and 32 years after Lemond won the Tour for the first time.
