Cyclist Magazine Podcast 24. The Greg LeMond Special Part 2
Mar 5, 2021
01:18:02
Joining us this week is three-time Tour de France champion Greg LeMond, the only man to have won the Tour after getting shot!
**THIS IS PART 2. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, PLEASE GO BACK AND LISTEN TO PART 1**
James and Joe sat down with Greg to talk about almost everything, so much so we have split the two-hour conversation into two separate episodes.
In Part 1, we talk Greg's new bike brand, 'revolutionary carbon fibre', his prior experiences in the market and being the 'most innovative professional cyclist ever'.
In Part 2, Greg tells us about how he got into the sport of cycling, turning pro in Europe as an American, his legendary rivalries with Bernard Hinault and Laurent Fignon, the 1989 Tour, the current professional peloton, his worries around mechanical doping and why he thinks the peloton is biologically cleaner.
If you want to see LeMond's new range of e-bikes, read Joe's write up of the range here - https://www.cyclist.co.uk/news/9111/greg-lemond-reveals-new-lemond-prolog-urban-e-bike
