	Greg LeMond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greg LeMond (born June 26, 1961 in Lakewood, California) is a former professional road bicycle racer from the United States.
		LeMond later asserted in an interview that the team management and his coach Paul Koechli had lied to him during a crucial stage, telling him that Hinault was close behind him when in fact Hinault lagged LeMond by over three minutes.
		LeMond rode the time trial using then-novel aero bars, which gave him a significant aerodynamic advantage, to beat Fignon by 58 seconds to claim his second yellow jersey with a final victory margin of 8 seconds – the closest in the Tour's history.

	CNN/SI - Le Grand LeMond
		LeMond's strategy was to use the first eight stages, which were relatively flat, to refine his conditioning before the Tour headed into the mountains.
		LeMond's plan was to put his head down and ride as fast and as smart as he could for 24.5 kilometers (15.2 miles).
		LeMond, alternately glancing at the ticking digital clock and the flashing lights of the caravan of vehicles trailing Fignon, knew that the outcome would be close.

		I respect Greg for voicing his opinion, but when an opinion is unfounded and voiced by a man of such reknown, it can be particularly damaging.
		What is most significant about Greg Lemond's interview with Le Monde is his references to the increased speed in the peloton and his experiences in the 1991 TDF.
		LeMond couldn't figure out in his first tour win that Hinault wasn't going to just hand him victory, he was going to have to earn it as a true champion.

		Lemond won it three times (which is a MAJOR accomplishment mind you), but missed two of what could have been great seasons recovering from a wound from a hunting accident.
		Greg, five, six, or seven tour wins would have made you a bigger legend then you are today, but it would have never made you the greatest and it would not have made you happy as you have never seemed happy with your accomplishments and more accomplishments would have solved that inner issue.
		Lemond has nothing to be ashamed of, and he did have some tough breaks, but that is life.

		Bernard had won four TdF titles when in the 1985 tour an American Greg Lemond was leading the tour on his way to being the first American to wear the Yellow Jersey but was told by his team director that he had to slow down and let his teammate Bernard catch up.
		Greg disappointed but being the team player that he was did in fact slow down relinquishing the lead for Hinault, which Hinault eventually won giving him his 5th TdF.
		Well look closely, in the early and late 80's sure Greg had a team and was the captain of the teams that he did ride for but not only did he have to worry about the other riders in the peleton he had to also worry about his own teammates.

	Once Was King: An interview with Greg LeMond
		LeMond: The lifestyle, racing in the cold rain and living from day to day between motel rooms can be brutal-it's the toughest sport in the world.
		LeMond: They do a muscle biopsy and then examine it with an electron microscope x-ray, at which point they can see if you have red ragged fibers, which are basically crystallized mitochondria, which do not produce AT (adenosine triphosphate, the basic fuel source on the cellular level).
		LeMond: With no doubt, there was nothing sweeter than coming back from a near death experience [the hunting accident] to winning the Tour two years later, especially when only two months prior I'd seriously considered quitting the sport completely.

		Greg LeMond has always favored bikes that are comfortable to ride, and achieves this both with materials that have extremely forgiving ride qualities (such as a combination of Reynolds 853 tubing and carbon fiber, which seems to almost move around big bumps) and with a geometry that gives his bikes a relaxed, comfortable feel.
		LeMonds all measure from the center of the crank to the center of the top-tube/seat-tube junction.
		This means that a 49cm LeMond Tourmalet is about the same size as a 52cm TREK 1200, which is measured from the center of the crank to the very top of the seat tube collar.

		LeMond seemed to be sailing, until the last kilometer of the Tourmalet, and then it was all downhill from there and Indurain romped away with the first of five races.
		LeMond was a fantastic cyclist, possibly one of the best, was immensely popular (compare LeMond's popularity in France to Armstrong's for example) and was groundbreaking in all manner of ways, yet he always seemed to feel the need to justify himself.
		If Lemond did have an axe to grind, it was more about the doping that became rampant in the peloton toward the end of his career.
