Where LA stands or doesn't stand on people's all time list is and always will be debatable. If Disco pulls the triple crown and pulls it with 3 different riders that point would be alot less debatable to be sure.

Disco at the TdF may not have been flawless as they did leave LA alone 2X but their overall performance was dominating. Add to that a win in Italy with what most describe as the "B" squad in the face of desperate Italian teams (though Disco was captained by an Italian) and a potential win in Spain in the face of equally determined Spanish teams and you'd have a legendary feat, to be sure.

Not from a regular LA or Disco/USPS idolator either.
