LE PUY-EN-VELAY, France (Reuters) - Chris Froome's lieutenant at Team Sky, Mikel Landa, has shown great strength on the Tour de France - but he should throw loyalty out of the window and go for the title himself, according to three-time champion Greg LeMond.

The American won the Tour in 1986, 1989 and 1990, but missed out on the chance of a first victory in 1985 when he stayed loyal to his La Vie Claire team leader Bernard Hinault despite looking ready to challenge the Frenchman.
