  • jesus i remember my friend "welding" bars like this together for his bike,after seeing lemond in 89, and we would rocket down mountain roads like this.holy shit it gives me the shivers thinking how dangerous it was....but oh so cool at the time.ha ha.

  • his team was weak for the tour this is true..johan museuw at that time was a sprinter and young....and turned out to be one of the greatest classics riders of all time..in 90 lemonds team was super strong and yet he didnt win a stage...in 89 with ADR and his (weak team) he won 3 stages...but with cycling its not always about who is strnger sometimes it just comes down to luck and or how you read things...i was 17 in 1990 i look at this vid now and its so dated..how things have changed.

  • Today this would be considered mechanical doping.

  • LEGEND!

  • young buc's haten at such an early age! oh my, never even seen the man in person! GREG LEMOND was the BOMB period...

  • Smaller front wheel disc was probably the worst idea in TT history. Lol

  • @perico700 I support UCI in this case if what you said is true. The reason why i said i support the UCI is because this sport needs a hero. It always does.

  • A perfect win.

  • @Bhousm76 Indeed.

  • @TruthDigger35 Indeed.

  • @billyposter

    fignon himself said EVERYONE was doping then...so all things set aside, if everyone was doping, it was an even race was it not? doesnt matter at this point.

  • it was forbidden by the UCI and they let him go
