Reached for comment, Armstrong replied via text message: “Greg was an idol of mine growing up, as I have stated many times before. Somewhere along the way we got sideways — I think it was about 15 years ago. I haven’t spoken to him since then. I’m sure my results on the road and actions off the road were troublesome to him along the way, and for that I am sorry. But honestly, at this point, isn’t it better that we all move forward and stop the rhetoric, in order to build a better future for cycling? I’m in. Anyone else?”
Asked if that would qualify as Armstrong’s first apology to LeMond, he replied, “I tried two years ago. He wouldn’t take my call.”
