This guy is a bloody legend and a helleva nice buggy.

Giro helmets and Oakley glasses... LeMond was the coolest thing going in 1989 and 1990.

Tom is such a Boss!

amazed at the quality of this video!

Anyone know where the thumbnail artwork is from?

Good Kid, he might win one tour the france or two

Insane athlete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Class act Freddy. I don’t think he really received the recognition he deserves. He definitely has my respect. A true legend.

A life that will be looked back on with contentment, I wonder how many academics will be able to do the same. She has found one of the keys to life. Well done.

Love Hinault for his accomplishments, but he’s a cranky man. I think he just needs to get over it. I think one of the best if not the best Australia produced was Russell Mockridge, he rode the tour with the Luxembourg team, With Charlie Gaul as team leader. Although he sustained a nasty gash to his thigh early in the race He finished the tour regardless earning the respect of the French including one Louison Bobet, an increadable performance. He regularly beat track stars of the day notably Reg Harris, and even caused changes in the rules of the Paris rand Prix because he not only won the amateur title he was wild carded into the professional event and humiliated the pros by winning that as well. When he came home from the tour he realised he needed more stamina over the 21 days of the tour and took coaching from Sir Hubert Opperman to increase his stamina. He was on the cusp of returning to Europe in this improved condition when tragically he was killed during a race in Geelong. Who knows what he could have achieved, unfortunately we will never know. Another Australian who had similar abilities but unfortunately for certain reasons never achieved his true potential was Gary Clively. He could mix it with the best, even Merckx. Unfortunately he became dissolutiond with the way cycling is ruled by the peloton and it’s bosses but he showed he had the athletic ability to compete with the best.

Theses guys put in the miles when training early season training was about time on the bike, quite a lot of it was on their own, no drafting, but also no incentive to go too hard, most of it was on 42-16 60-70 RPM. From memory De Vlaemink did regular 400 km days training for Roubaix. It was about training the muscle and the capillaries to handle the loads early in the season. Then upping the game later on. Riders from back then raced so much the racing was actually a part of the training. It was all about the bike no weight training just hard slog and mental toughness, the will to better Merckx also helped De Vlaemink was one of the few who felt Merckx was beatable. I also agree that it was a wasted interview, it seems the questions are off the top of her head. When you get the opportunity to interview legends like him you have to do your homework and prepare beforehand meaningful questions, there is so much more that could of been learned.

Can't believe the size of Tayler's boots!

If only Wiggo had just let Sean speak. Tosser.

Legend

I have such respect for Greg Lemond; not just for his achievements in cycling or his courage in coming back from the hunting accident, but for his humility. He always comes across as so down to Earth.

A joy then, a joy still. One of my favourite riders.

Placed 3rd in his first TDF, if not riding it with bronchitis he would have won in 1984, gave up the lead as ordered to by his team to help his teammate Hinault win his 5th TDF in 1985, won the TDF in 1986, shot and missed 1987 and 1988, won 1989 TDF and still holds the record for the fastest time trial in TDF history overcoming a 50 second deficit on the last day, won it it again in 1990, was always in contention always rode from the front, no one rode a bike and looked as good or so natural on a bike with a VO2 max of 92, unheard of. He easily could have won 7 to 10 TDF if not for being shot, getting lead poisoning etc. He was the most talented TDF rider to ever straddle a bike. And was 100% clean, and won against riders, even in his day were on the juice.

Someone so natural being interviewed by someone who looks like a Christmas tree most of the time. The contrast 😮

Konden mekaar niet uitstaan en da nog zo

what a lovely tribute to Beryl! so many thanks, one of our own

One of the guys felt like wild race horse on something…

Insanely talented. His success in his first trip to Europe is unheard of.

I would pay for Orla to be quiet, my goodness. I turn off the computer and can still hear her.

can you go more far away , that the ppl look like string persons

A very sad man. Confused and distressed deep inside himself. Pray for him.

Strava link? For the routes?

Love their clothing. So well made. Super fast shipping from Italy. Rapha takes 2 weeks.

How humble Canc and Merckx are.👍🏻

Those chairs though!

Wonder if Simon ever got his wings👍🏻

Good fun this. Particularly good to see Pippa and her perspective on Lemond and le Blaireau.👍🏻

Greg in oakleys at the 86 tour. Ultra cool 😎

So much has changed, for the better, in the three years since this interview.

A great.

so so great!

Fantastic

Cav is the best sprinter and it'll stay that way until he retires.

LeMond ----- VO2 max of 92%........ Armstrong VO2 max of 78%. ..... No chance Lance.

LeMond VO2 max------92% ( Superman !) ; Armstrong VO2 max ----78%------ ARMSTRONG best Finish before doping ---- 36 th place..... LEMOND only finishes that low after 55 shotgun pellets have poisoned his body badly by 1993......without the shotgun accident, and without a corrupt race management team in 85 lying about Hinault being only 45 seconds behind Lemond---- in reality he was 5 minutes behind----- Lemond also wins in 85...... Then without shotgun pellets....,he wins in 87, 88, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95...... THE GOAT !

Can you imagine getting a shot gun blast in 87??? And coming back to win in 89 by erasing a 50 second deficit in the time trial to win by 8 seconds ??? The GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME.

Matt, you need a little help interviewing. This was just scattered to me, sorry

Tour de France Swift 2023 🙏🥇💛👏👏👏👏💖

Probably a very nice guy but he has a gift for asking the lamest questions to pro cyclists.

I really love what Lachlan has been doing.

The answer to the first question was absolute class! As a child Robert was my hero, as an adult Phillipa is just amazing, greatest respect to her.

He never heard of Metallica?!

I could listen to him tell stories/talk for ever

Annemiek's age is beatable.

The greatest American cyclist ever, Andy Hampsten #2.
