I used to be on an American forum. When Wiggins won the Tour they were all going crazy, saying he came out of nowhere. No Americans had any idea who he was, therefore he "must" be doping.
Froome might be a freak of nature who never had any decent coaching. Once he got proper training, bike fit, team support, he was able to perform.
Merckx was asked "Where is the next Merckx?" He said there could be lots of them, but they are playing basketball or soccer, or have no interest in sports at all. There could be someone with the potential of Froome working right next to you, but they had no interest in cycling.
