LONDON (Reuters) - French great Bernard Hinault believes Chris Froome could target a sweep of all three Grand Tours next year -- a feat previously assumed to be mission impossible in cycling. "Froome is definitely the champion of his generation," Hinault, who did the double in 1978, said in The Times. Hinault thinks Froome could end all the arguments if he took on the Giro, Tour and Vuelta next year. "I even think it's possible to win the three grand tours," he said. Froome has already said a fifth Tour de France is his priority next season but left the door open for cycling equivalent of the "grand slam".
