Merckx: Froome must come to the 2018 Giro d'Italia

Eddy Merckx has called on Chris Froome to ride the Giro d'Italia in 2018 and emulate his achievement of holding all three Grand Tour titles at the same time. Merckx won the Giro-Tour double in 1972 and then won the Vuelta a España the following year, while Bernard Hinault won the three Grand Tours in the same sequence in 1982-83.
