Summary

Greg Lemond’s first Tour de France victories are writ large in the history of the race; his duel to the (almost) bitter end with team mate Bernard Hinault in 1986 and then snatching the Yellow Jersey from Laurent Fignon by a mere eight seconds 3 years later.Twelve months on from that momentous, historic afternoon on the Champs Elysees, Greg Lemond won his third Tour de France and in doing so joined an exclusive club alongside Philippe Thys, Louison Bobet, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault. Gary Fairley looks back at an edition of cycling’s greatest race that passes almost unnoticed in the shadow of Lemond’s other 2 wins.Music: A Month of Sleep - “Starry Eyes”, courtesy of www.epidemicsound.comExecutive producer: Chris SidwellsGet in touchDrop us a line at [email protected]!
