Yesterday’s storm brought a bit of welcome respite to New York’s Meatpacking district, when Greg LeMond visited the area’s Rapha (rapha.com) store and introduced his new line of bikes. (lemondltd.com.)
The weather failed to keep the fans at home and the place was packed with people eager to hear Greg speak about his legendary career. It was a rare treat for New Yorkers who welcomed LeMond and his wife Kathy to the Big Apple with open arms.
He peppered the talk with a short film high-lighting his triumphs and entertained the audience with some great anecdotes.
Additionally, the store will have Greg’s trophy bikes and jerseys displayed for the next month, allowing a rare look at some real cycling treasures. How can we forget those innovative clip-on tri bars from 1989?
As we look forward to Spring rides after this brutal Winter, remembering the bright spots of the Yellow Jersey’s past may just get us past this last years tragic mess.
ease up on the donuts. still a fan though…
He’s got nothing to prove. Eat up champ!
Greg Lemond stands tall – MASSIVE talent and fun to watch. Tons of great YouTube footage.
no snark intended in the second comment – Lemond isn’t just talent – he has palmeres.
Great footage of the 1985 TdF, The day the GLM had to cool his jets to wait for Bernie.
Pyrenees – Luz Ardiden when Hinault was dying after taking a header the day before.
BH has two black eyes, broken nose and stitches in his forehead. He gagged his way to the finish on a brutal stage – I think 270 km or some crazy shit.
Best part: he’s bundled up like a mummy and the podium sponsors made him put on a Gilligan hat and hold up a Banana sign. Too f-ing funny. Such is life – even for superhumans.
