Yes it was. I have finsihed with it. Send me a PM with your address and I'll send it on to you.simonali said:One of the racier cycling mags had Greg Lemond as a guest editor a while back. Did anyone get it and was it a good read? I'm starting to wish I'd bought it when I saw it now!![]()
I actually bought it for a train journey (WHSmith run out of C+).simonali said:One of the racier cycling mags had Greg Lemond as a guest editor a while back. Did anyone get it and was it a good read? I'm starting to wish I'd bought it when I saw it now!![]()

I would not say it was a good read and would not recommend buying it just for that, I hope it does not become a regular habit of the mag to use him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were indeed, assuming you mean the Hinault/Lemond battles of the mid-late 80's. Lemond last won the Tour in 1990, Hinault retired at the end of 1986.fossyant said:If you were a follower of the Tour when the Hinault/Lemond struggle went on....epic.....some fab years those early 90's.
I read that as Lemond/Fignon. Which one did you mean Fossyant? My all time classic has to be the Lemond/Fignon battle where Lemond won by 8 secs on the final day. I doubt that will ever be topped as a climax to the Tour. They haven't dared put a TT on the final day since.monnet said:They were indeed, assuming you mean the Hinault/Lemond battles of the mid-late 80's.

Why is that Keith?
I must admit I was never a huge Lemond fan at the time, and I do think he can be a bit of an arse at times. However, I thought the mag revealed quite a bit about him and the era in which he raced - and why he may appear to be an "arse".
Lemond is widely recognised as the last clean winner of the TdeF.
That's okay. I'd **** him over the coals big time.Dave5N said:Steady - LA is notoriously litigious!![]()
