 Inside Cycling with John Wilcockson: LeMond, Kelly and the closest-fought end of season in history
Saronni had been winning races since February, and his 17th-place finish at the world's showed that he was getting season-fatigue; he would have probably ended his season there if he hadn't been leading the Super Prestige rankings.
Saronni and Raas, who were not great time trialists, decided not to start.
The six men established a four-minute lead over a 22-strong chase group that contained Kelly and Roche, while Saronni was one of the 94 riders who abandoned the 237km race.

 Inside Cycling with John Wilcockson: The controversial 1982 world's

The highly astute Boyer knew that the only chance he had of medaling was to attack in the brief transitional moments after Saronni's helpers had hopefully spent most of their energy and before any of Saronni's rivals were prepared to lead out the final sprint.
And so it was LeMond, with the animated Saronni on his shoulder, who was the first to close on Boyer and continue straight past in his bid to take gold.
