Chris Froome now has more pro wins than David Millar and Malcolm Elliott
After his Critérium du Dauphiné stage win, Chris Froome moves up in our All-time List of British Winners, surpassing David Millar and Malcolm Elliott's tally of 31 wins

As Chris Froome crossed the finish line with his arms aloft at the end of stage five of the 2016 Critérium du Dauphiné he secured his 32nd professional victory.
Froome's tally of wins now puts him one above fellow British riders David Millar and Malcolm Elliott in terms of professional road race victories. Both of the ex-pros amassed 31 wins during their careers.

Froome's total also positions him just one victory behind ex-Sky team-mate Sir Bradley Wiggins, who has won 33 professional races.
Mark Cavendish is head-and-shoulders above everyone else on the list of victories by British riders, with an astounding 137 professional wins to date.
Chris Boardman is the second most successful British rider in terms of wins, with 41.
Froome went into the 2016 Dauphiné as defending champion, and after his stage five victory on Friday he took the overall lead from Alberto Contador (Tinkoff). If Froome takes another stage win or takes the overall victory when the race ends on Sunday he will match Wiggins's number of wins.
Froome also goes into the 2016 Tour de France in July as defending champion and leading contender for the overall victory, which would be his third.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, n exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
