At the end he said he won the tour "Fair and square" but it was even more commendable - he won the Tour de France with all Hinault against him and even the journalists against him. What is with this journalist's comment "So you take the victory, Hinault takes the glory".. What? I admire Greg for controlling his angry and calmly replying just "Why do you say that?". I would have said "Are you that brainwashed and nationalistic?" or something like that.

Juiced up Lemond 💉

I´ve never noticed the excessive saddle height before🤔

One of the finest athletes ever V02 max skills tactics training and a good guy to boot

I love Greg. He should’ve retired after the 1990 Tour de France

Greg kissed 💋 the Coors Classic cycling joint female winner on the podium. I have the photo.😀 But I don't have any of real podium girls giving him kisses.

Lemond shouldn't be too dissapointed. He won three tours. He came in the time of Hinault. Like Merckx who lost to Thevenet 1975 Tour, Thevenet won again in 1977. Hinault would probably would of won more if he was taller in height. He use to climb out of the saddle alot in mountain stages, comparing to Merckx

I think Greg could not get back in shape for the tour, like he did when he was younger..he just always got fat in the off season and when you get older it's harder to get rid of the fat

So he beat dopers, and we’re expected to believe he’s the only one that wasn’t doping?

Great video. Your intro is way tooooo long though. But thank you for sharing. Lemond is absolutely fantastic. But definitely not the Goat

10‘18 Vorsprung, unglaublich 🚲 1

Ha! I never would've recognized Herrera. Nice video.

Boy I would LOVE to meet and do a tour like this with Greg!

This is so good, wonderful and amazing. Good stuff!

they have inspired me for 40 years

Greg Lemond speaking French fluent. I wonder how long it took him

Lemond respected the French…and loved cycling…..he should be an ambassador to 🇫🇷

Greg Lemond was a champion, one of his rivalries Bernard Hinault. I remember and still watch the 1986 Tour de France Gap to Serre Chevalier, where Lemond made a strong break with Zimmermann on the Col du Granon, putting Hinault 2 minutes behind I think. That stage Lemond was in Yellow.

Have you guys thought about doing a review of The Last Rider? You guys know so much about his career it would great to hear your insights.

What a tremendous man

This is awesome. Greg and Eddy kicking it. Woow

Greg's the GOAT

I think that the accident back in 1987 , has limeted to win the tour. My opinion is , that he never recovered fully. Uf thus happened he had for sure winn5 times the tour.

Come sta il campione?...

La côte de Montagnole. Not far from my region. Greg was incredible that year. I love to replay the finish of this championship.

Nice footage. Cool to see the road in its natural element 33 yrs after such an epic moment in cycling. Greg’s performance that day was extraordinary.

Sean Kelly was dangerous. He was good enough to stay with the leaders in the mountains but if the end was in a sprint, he would most likely beat everyone in the group.

He did it with pellets in his lungs

I hope these videos continue after his retirement in 1994. Perhaps with episodes regarding his fight against doping, Eurosport commenting, etc.

The rumor that Lemond would ride for Motorola is interesting ... not least because he almost signed for 7-11 in 1990 but that he and Armstrong would have been teammates on Motorola.

Very cool. Love the USA jersey you are wearing and the drone footage of the climb is quite interesting. Had no idea the course went into the countryside like that. And I appreciate how the footage from the race matched the turns and points on the actual climb itself you rode.

I always wanted to climb it in the rain wearing my old USPRO jersey for some reason! Thanks for the video!

I remember it well, Greg was effortless that day despite being unwell such an impressive victory

Hard to believe it's been 33 years !!

Edo fue los más chigon y después ganar el tuor

Eso fue lo más chigon y después gar el tour

really cool! Thanks!

Something funny is going on in the peloton. The stars from a few years ago, Lemond and Fignon are now struggeling to keep up. They're not consulting the right doctors.

Thanks for posting Greg Lemond Fans!

Getting big salary, but beeing not ready at all. That year the Giro dítalia was a blamage for a worldchampion. Training!!! Amazing he won the tdf. For the last time though. Back in the day i was a big fan. Have still newspapers and excerpts from magazines about Greg. But i grew up and see things slighty diff nowadays.

Cycling was much more fun and spectacular then. soooo much better!!! In my country, Spain, Delgado was a legend, an icon. We had been hearing about Indurain for some years that he would one day win a Tour, but the years were passing by and Miguel failed in his attempts to win the Vuelta a España in 1990 and 1991. Indurain seemed to work better than Delgado already in the 1990 Tour, but nobody seemed be prepared for the generational change that occurred that day, not only in Spanish cycling, but in world cycling. Lemond, Fignon, Delgado, Roche, etc, made way for Indurain, Bugno and Chiappucci that day. Lemond was a true legend. Here in Spain, practically nobody doubted that he would win his fourth Tour, although we wanted to believe in Pedro Delgado, our own legend. I think that in the 1991 Tour, Lemond was a little heavier than in 1990. That doesn't help to get through a stage like this either. That day, Lemond was nervous and in a more attacking attitude than usual. Tactically, he was an excellent runner, but I think that attitude didn't help him either. He attacked at Aubisque, he attacked at Tourmalet, he attacked at Aspin even though he had already shown his weakness... but he always looked at people's faces, and if he saw a candidate in trouble, he played the cards. of the. He attacked at the Aubisque, he attacked at the Tourmalet when he saw that Delgado was in trouble. He attacked on the Aspin because he saw that Leblanc was in trouble. But, when a champion falls, he does so by killing. Greg was one of the greatest, in my opinion. He could have won the Tour in 1985, without the hunting accident who knows if he would also have won in 1987 and 1988. After the hunting accident, and with his body decimated, he was still able to win 2 more Tour de France and a world championship... He was a very powerful time trialist, an excellent rider, one of the best downhill, very intelligent tactically and ahead of their time in terms of technology and methodology. LEGEND!

Lemond preparing the Tour 94?. Against the best of the history Sr, Indurain. I do not believe this video. He has to be proud of banesto that decided Pedro Delgado to be first man of tour 1990. Indurain, training and preparinf g that Tour would have won for 10 min.

I love these videos. Keep them coming!

Great video! Lots of old/unseen footage in there. Great editing.

Greg's the GOAT

We need to bring back the headband 👍

Thanks for this look at Greg circa '82. And how did Greg get that crazy arm-muscle definition? Maybe that was his secret weapon, his arms. :)

Way to go buddy!

I wonder why greg won't lose the weight and get in shape

There shouldn’t be anything controversial about what happened in 1985. After Hinault got injured at St. Etienne, Paul Köchli had Lemond mark Roche’s attacks without contributing to them. That way they were putting the squeeze on Roche and giving Hinault a chance to get back on terms. And if Hinault had totally blown up Lemond would have inherited the lead because he was already second on GC. There was no reason to just abandon one leader and put all the eggs in the other basket.
