Chris Froome matches Indurain Tour de France stage wins

Chris Froome on podium, Tour de France 2013, stage eight

Chris Froome (Sky) is on course to record the most stage wins for an overall Tour de France winner since Miguel Indurain. With his third win today, the time trial in Chorges, Froome matched Indurain's feat of three stage wins 21 years ago in 1992.

Indurain won the San Sebastián, Luxembourg and Blois time trial stages in 1992 on his way to winning his second Tour title. Armstrong won five times in 2002, but he lost those results and many more after his doping scandal was revealed over the winter.
