Tom Kunich' cyclintom@yahoo. com said:I've often wondered why he was so obviously psychologically broken by that
loss. He had been storming all spring and was the odds on favorite to win
the Tour which he lost by only 8 seconds! He was the absolute best rider for
the entire year and yet the loss he took was far more important to him than
all of the wins.
Maybe Davey should give Laurent a good swift kick in the butt. In Fignon's
stupidest day he still had 100 times the class of LeMond. Not knocking
LeMond you understand but pointing out that Fignon was smarter than most
cyclists and yet allowed himself to be disturbed by the one constant in
bicycle racing - a loss.
Actually at the time Fignon was devastated.
Remember too that he had a 50 second lead going into the final time
trial and lost 58 seconds on the day to Lemond which was incredible
for Fignon on such a short course.
Additionally, Thierry Marie, who was second on the day was also 25
seconds faster than Fignon although Thierry Marie was a Prologue/Time
Trial specialist notwithstanding his Paris-Roubaix win as an amateur.

Vote BNP today in the By-Election for Tony Bliar's vacant seat.
The Labour Candidate has AirBrushed his Partner out of the Campaign
Glossies - We have to wonder why? Why not phone and ask him?
And the poor Lib-Dems had to switch horses in mid stream because
their Candidate of Choice, Karl Lindon, who campaigned for the Lib
Dems on Gay and Lesbian issues was recently jailed for three years
for sharing the 2,500 indecent images of children on his computer
with a ring of 47 online paedophiles.
Are these the kind of Moral Degenerates you want to Represent You??
