Back in his TDF days, Lemond visited the shop where I worked. There was no entourage or body guards, just a friendly and smiling young man who shook everyone's hand, and autographed most of the magazines and bike seats in the shop during his visit. He was a genuinely good person, and I cannot forgive Trek for hurting Lemond to satisfy Armstrong's ego.
I know nothing about this. How did Trek put Lemond out of business?
