I was always kind of an an underdog rooter and so made heros of guys who didn't get as far as Greg. Hell I liked Armstrong better when he won an occasional stage than when he started dominating the tour.
But Greg always annoyed me just a little ever since he complained about not getting a free ride from Hinault during the '86 Coors Classic. He should've seen it coming after that year's TDF. It's a bike race I was thinking.....Why doesn't he just stfu and compete?
Anyway I always thought it interesting that he figured out that Armstrong was juicing at about his matching TDF victory. He knew what the field was about for those that stayed on and raced back then.
Oh well, I didn't really have a dog in this fight but that's my $.02. Lemond just manages to annoy me a bit from time to time.
I do still refer to his "Complete Book of Bicycling" for fit and maintenance of my oldies though.
