RIP Laurent; one of the greats.

I think perhaps the only time fignon ever took epo, just to see what it would do. he retired because he said people , who 'had no right to', were riding tour de france mountain stages with him.

Fascinating. Would you point me towards this interview? It must be just about the only one I haven't read.

Le Professeur's swan song!!

I remember watching this stage on Channel 4 when I was a school boy racer. I love seeing all the past masters in the chase group - Lemond, Bugno, Chiapucci, Indurain etc! Defo a blast from the past - thanks for posting!

Fignon was my hero- always won from the front!

Someone please post some clips of his dominant 84 TDF victories, especially the mountain stages, and also the Blois-Chaville race when his campag titanium bb snapped as he was going for the win!

[lamagliarosa]

I wish somebody'd do that, too. I can't find any of that stuff for love nor money, and all my old tapes have long gone to VHS heaven ;-)

someone posted a clip of the final time trial from 1984 -- though, alas, there doesn't seem to be any footage of his dominating mountain performances that year.
