My Untold Story of EPO | Greg LeMond

If you enjoyed this chat with Greg LeMond, it's worth checking out my conversation with George Hincapie to hear a different perspective kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHaloqusZ7yNjNU

@@TheRealRoch108 I read Greg's book back in the day, and in more recent times I read George Hincapie's book, too. Both are worth reading. Of course, some of Greg's book is a bit dated, as when he explains why clipless pedals are a good idea. 😆

Greg is indeed a lovely human being. He's gave chat time to me freely, when other riders and former riders haven't and each time he's been sincere, friendly and helpful.

[@rodolfomorales7017]

I had the privilege to be in a group of 15 from across the country taking part in a guided tour in France with none other than Greg as the head of it. It was in 1998 when Pantani won. We rode in the Alps mainly, shared nightly dinners and wonderful stories from Greg himself. We ( Greg's group), were present at an interview at one of the TdeF finish villages, Hinault was there also next to Greg, I can still see the resentment in the Badger's face. Greg was the ultimate gentleman. After our goodbye dinner in Paris we all came home to the US. Some time later I received a small yellow book in the mail, it is a brief biography of Greg's career. In his dedicatory he wrote " hope to see you again, hopefully I'll be in better shape to keep up with you ", imagine that ! The humility of this Prince of a fellow!!! The maximum Icon of American cycling and a Demigod in France. Truly an honor to have shared that unforgettable trip to that TdeF with Mr Greg Lemond .

Funny, I grew up with Greg. I remember his 3 Tour de France wins like it was yesterday. I'm just 3 years older but to see him NOW, with that kindly grandfatherly look, compared to that intensely fierce persona on a road bike decades ago, is like night & day. A real beast!

[@evanshaw17]

As a national racer when Greg was 15 he was allowed into our race. He beat us all. I remember the last uphill we were giving 100%. Here comes Greg past us all as if on a jet plane. OMG what a gifted athlete

​@@abone2pickwas sucking wheels the entire way up Luz Ardiden and then Lemond gifted him the win in 90 and he was irrelevant in 89, sure 91-92 the power vacuum is filled and the records started falling the epo was flowing making sprinters like lightning bolts and Big Mig was winning ITT's by +5:00 over everyone but Toni Rominger who he beat by +3:00 but let's not talk about that

[@Usersixeightfourninefive]

Lance had a violent enough drive and ego to challenge him, if they were in their prime at the same time...... in the late 90s Lance wins no rules allowed, late 80's Lemond demolishes him along with everyone else except Delgado

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

Just imagine what all of us into the sport since the very early 70s thought when there was FINALLY a U.S. born/raised rider this great on the international pro scene. 😉 Cycling was basically NON EXISTENT as far as the populist/popular stick and ball sport concerned ONLY 'Muricun public went back then, to the point that when Merckx was winning all of his tours, most years there was not even a blurb/mention of it in the N.Y. Times, and IF there was, it was not even in the sports section!! Given that, Greg was a GODSEND to us riders here, since it forced the TV networks to start paying attention, and at least start covering the Tour, if not the other Grand tours and classics/worlds.

[@alastairmerrill9349]

Anthony, you said in your intro that if more people subscribe, the guest names will just keep getting bigger, but here you've landed an interview with, IMO, one of the greatest cyclists of all time. And what an incredible interview too! Lemond is so insightful, candid and honest. Not just a great rider, but a great person. Congratulations on the interview, it is fantastic!

[@netw52]

Started following cycling because of LeMond. It was like watching magic! I still admire him and still wake up before dawn in July to watch the guys ride through France.

[@pha4079]

I was just getting into cycling in the late 80s and I saw Greg winning the tour on Ch4 in UK - I was hooked. He was my hero (still is), an amazing athlete and man. Love this interview. I wish we'd had the coverage then that we do now.

That was fantastic. What a great guy Greg is, even though he broke the heart of us Kelly fans in the 89 worlds.

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

If Sean would have kept his concentration totally focused on sprinting (despite his advancing age), instead of trying to become a more all rounder type, he most likely would have won even more yet! YES, another true legend, and a very under-rated one at that!

[@curtvaughan2836]

Thanks for this. Greg Lemond's winning the TdF back in the 80's put pro-cycling on my radar. As an American, in my 30s back then, pro-cycling on the European continent was barely a footnote in cycling mags. What a trip the sport has been through since then ...

[@mattclarke1838]

Thanks so much for this. Greg created the fire in me to cycle back in the 80's. He's a true legend and gentlemen.

[@eto2352]

LeMond the American GOAT. You really need a Part 2! Interesting that the personalities encapsulate the best and worst of America. LeMond is completely open, honest, grounded and a man of integrity. Armstrong is poisoned by blind ambition and willing to destroy anyone to get it.

[@josephobenauer3093]

Truth.

[@Usersixeightfourninefive]

Armstrong was poisoned by the era that got considerably worse just in those five years between 93-98 ...... And yes absolutely Armstrong definitely attempted to destroy anyone who tried to expose the omerta of the sport and unfortunately at the time Armstrong was too young and too immature to appreciate the trail that Lemond blazed for him

Lemond is not the American GOAT, Armstrong is, absolutely he was and probably still is an absolute jerk, but no way is Lemond better than Lance. All the guys were doping in the Armstrong era (and before ,let’s not fool ourselves) and he destroyed everyone

[@johnandrews3568]

This is GOLD... Greg has always been such a breath of fresh air and always has relevant insights. Been a fan of his since about 1980 and still a fan today. One of the very few pros I'd love to ride with and then have a beer with.

[@nayr497]

With all that he has been through - hunting accident, deception with the Badger, Lance destroying his bike company, sexual abuse, his recent(ish) car crash in the snow - the guy still seems as genuine, affable, and cheerful as a fifteen year old who is just on his way up in the world. He truly seems unfazed by experiences that would have hardened, or even killed, other people.

Greg Lemond has always been genuine. The real deal. I was 12 years old at the Nevada City Classic criterium here in CA in '79. He was still a junior and won both the Junior's and Senior Pro races. The next year he lapped the field. He also won the following year. The streets of NC were packed. Such a great time. Thank you for this interview!

[@TheRoadmanPodcast]

That’s beautiful to read

[@mattfoley6082]

@@TheRoadmanPodcast Thanks for the interview! Greg was told in July 2000 of the $500k hush money to "disappear" Lance's positive test. You probably know by now that Lance was cheating as far back as 1993, when he secretly bribed rival Roberto Gaggioli $100k to let him win the Philly race (third of 3 races in Pennsylvania) and therefore the Triple Crown $1 million prize. I watched the race on local tv live. There is video on youtube showing Lance attacking on the final climb of the 18% Manayunk Wall leaving Gaggioli in the dust. At the time I and everyone were in awe of the young Texan's amazing attack and win. I was heartbroken decades later to learn of all Lance's cheating. So I have great respect and admiration for Greg's integrity in the face of so much pressure to look the other way.

[@Calatriste54]

Oh yeah, man.. Integrity. That's what's missing now, integrity is so rare that it's shocking when you encounter it.

Great podcast, Anthony. I couldn't stop watching, it was a brilliant interview. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Greg Lemond at the Washington DC stage of the 1989 Tour de Trump. He was the easiest and friendliest person to talk to, I remember the conversation like it happened yesterday. His fitness was not great at the time, but he was still optimistic. I asked him how he felt, and I feel pretty good was his answer. I then asked about his chances for the upcoming Tour de France. Top five or possibly top three, he answered. No one knew he would win the Tour by just eight seconds over Fignon. What a gentleman, and I'm so glad to have witnessed that phenomenal comeback/victory. Chapeau to you, Anthony, for a great podcast. Keep up the good work.

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

I am 54 and the 89 TDF for me is still the most crazy i sane Tour ever. Lemond is historical unique

[@maxt1617]

At 47:05 when Greg said how he'd say to comentators in 1999 that Lance's performances were "unbelievable".... chimes with Sean Kelly commentating on doped rider performances in the 2000s saying "his performance today was unbelievable".

The battle with Chiappucci in '90 where he got 10mins in one of the first stages, and the stage to St Etienne. And also the stage to Luz Ardiden with Indurain. Still one of my all time favourite stages. Talking about the classics as well.

[@yozimerio]

I saw Greg climbing Tibidabo in a stage of Volta Catalunya that finished near Barcelona in 1988. He was racing for PDM. As he says, he was dead last, 5 minutes behind the pack. At that moment I was a junior cyclist, and I felt like getting on the bicycle (I was on the side of the road), and pushing him up the hill. That's how bad it was. What he did one year later was amazing. One of my favorite cyclists for sure.

[@jpchiesa]

I stumbled upon this interview by accident and have to write that this was the most comprehensive and insightful hour and twenty four minutes done on competitive pro cycling ever done in my humble opinion.

Possibly one of the best interviews with a cyclist of Greg's pedigree I have ever seen. also judging by the comments you have introduced gregs legend to some of the recent years newcomers to the sport. I hope people find out more about him now, for me 1989 was the turning point that took me from a young lad riding a bike to a full-blown racer and fanatic. Greg Lemond should have won more tours but it has to be said the tours he did win were potentially the best wins of any of the tours before and since. I am afraid I am not really sure how you are going to top this interview but I look forward to finding out.

Like many others I have been following and listening to Greg for over 40 years. What I like about him is that he talks about many many details of training, racing, his career, personal life etc... I always feel he is being 100% honest even if he upsets others ego's and even more impressive, he talks about his abilities to the degree that others could accuse hime of being egotistical. However I don't think he is at all, he just likes to share the details about his special life, journey, freakish physical gifts in large part to help other cyclists figure out how to maximize their success in the sport. God bless you Greg, and never lose your guts to tell it like it is.
