Good video but unfortunate camera placement…. Are those devil horns or rabbit ears on Greg’s head?

Yep I did find that fascinating, there are so many ‘chapters’ in the Greg Lemond story, which roughly parallel the history of cycling 1981 - 2011

Fascinating to listen to his character assessments of various people, not just LA but also Hinault, Fignon, Pantani, Ulrich, and others.

And of course the unfortunate “revolution” in pro cycling which was the widespread adoption of EPO in the early 1990’s.
And the tragic death of a friend of his who was a pro cyclist and obviously had too big a dose of EPO.

He also refers to more current issues of sneaky stuff in the pro cycling world, such as unnatural/dangerous rider weight loss and motor doping technology etc.
