Dear Race Fans: Greg LeMond is the honorary chairperson of the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure. And he looks fit, tanned and rested. My guess is that in the past two or three years he got a "nutritional consult" from a real Registered Dietician (not the health food store clerk!) and it, and a bit of riding, have paid off. Here's the link to the ADA's Tour de Cure home page. http://tour.diabetes.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TC_homepage As for what's in it for Greg? Diabetes basic science researchers are among the groups doing the most probing of mitochondria, and IF a basic "cure" for type 2 diabetes is found, there's a bunch of clinical endocrinology researchers who are going to have to find a new disease to treat. Like mitochondrial myopathy. And he gets his face and racing record in the public eye again.

Well, he might have done the Leadville Trail 100 instead (after Armstrong withdrew) but it would have had bad associations for him.

That would be an infinitely better way for him to be in the public eye than the lameass [censored] he's been doing for the last 4 years.

You think maybe Greg L. figured that out himself, or did someone tell him? Perhaps one of the Trek marketing people said "What have you done for us lately besides design bikes and say bad things about Lance?"
