I thought he was married.

Anyway, I hope he starts to race in other races than just the Tour. Only if he wins some other major races will he approach the Eddy Merckx fame, the greatest cyclist of all times ever.

Baron Merckx is one of only 4 to win all 3 of the Grand Tours, won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia 5 times each, and most impressively, I think, won the yellow, green, and polka-dot jerseys in his debut Tour de France.

Only if he wins some other major races will he approach the Eddy Merckx fame, the greatest cyclist of all times ever.
