- After the split between Hinault and Renault, we find Lemond getting the contract of a lifetime to become Hinault's super domestique. This lead to the greatest internal rivalry a team had ever seen and the first racer from the United States to win the Tour de France
In 1985 I was 14 when I watched the TdF... I was blown away. 2 years later, I bought my first racing bike and did my first race. 35 years later I sit watching this drinking coffee and waiting for the sun to rise so I can ride.
I can only aspire to that kind of morning.
Hinault's trechery was unbecoming of a champ. 5 tour wins and the betrayal is all he deserves to be remembered for.
I have now, and always will state.... Hinault won 4 Tours, and was gifted his 5th. Imagine what Greg would have done if the hunting accident hadn't happened.
✊🏾🔥Agreed!…LeMonster Would have won from 1985 til 1991… Had the accident not happened … We Can Only Wonder…👊🏾
He certainly would have won a 4th Tour. Maybe a 5th as well.
I think we all might be able to agree that Greg actually won 4 if not for his dedication, honesty and naïveté.
Fantastic job, a different story than most of us read in the magazines back then. It was a great time in cycling, I sure regret the wasted time spent at college, I should have focused on riding . who knows at that age....
Three big champions.
Thanks for putting this together. I very much enjoyed how it gave me more insight to this rivalry.
Great two part series, in my books these three riders are my favourites of all time 👍🚴🚴
It was an era of great racing.
@@freebooterracingco.2440 oh it was
Rick Van Steenbergen is my favorite rider. A track star in Europe he won 700 track races. Became a road racer in his 30s and road at the front. He was a natural born cyclist, he could ride any sort of bicycle anywhere.
Esa adrenalina que produce admirar las proezas de estos campeones, no se vive con el ciclismo actual
It’s a huge possibility that Greg LeMond would have been a 5 time TDF winner, but for the shooting accident.
GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks for your efforts ! After just 5 minutes watching this I'm blown away. Great video.
I've watched the same vintage race videos for years!
Always a shock to look back and see the connections the racers had to each other.
Really enjoyed the two videos. Nice work my friend.
Great video
Was Bernard Tapie the owner of Marseille football club by the time of the 1985 TDF??
Lemond should have taken as many time as he could on Hinauld on the Alpe d'Huez stage instead of cycling with him towards the top.
Does anyone remember what classification the red jersey was for
Non-finish sprints.
Intermediate sprints along the way. They had their own points. They were known as Catch Sprints for the Sponsor “Catch”…which I believe was a pesticide.
Who the fuck is Vandergarden?
Either a possibly mispronounced Belgian guy named Vanderaerden or a time traveling dude from Washington.
It's a Ford Transit on someone's back lawn....
No kidding…that made me cringe. I loved old Eric V!!!!!!!!
Hinault much better then Lemond and Fignon...
He was their mentor. Even their success,is in a way, is his success.
