  1. I keep hearing reference to Lemond talking of his fourth "virtual" victory. I assume this was
    something he discussed in his book? Is there a web reference someone could lead me to that might
    talk about it? I would be curious to read a little bit from the author's words, but am not going to
    run out ad buy the book just yet....

    It's not in his book. Try googling on this ng -- folks reported hearing him asy it in interviews;
    google on a fifth virtual victory too -- I think Benjo reported him saying that too.

    Next, Lemond will be claiming that after his gunshot, the surgeons also removed cancer from him.

  3. Here are a few words about GL from his site greglemond.comaboutgreg.shtml

    "one of the most incredible stories in cycling history" "arguably the most talented rider of his
    generation" "transcended sports" "stunning cycling feats" "historical and inspirational impact."
    "beyond the limits of the average man" "Greg LeMond remains, as ever, friendly and accessible,
    charming and unpretentious; a true gentleman champion."

    Don't forget modest 🙂
