Greg LeMond

<p>My guest this week is former professional cyclist, 3x Tour De France winner, and entrepreneur <strong>Greg Lemond</strong>. We explore his career in cycling and get into everything from representing the United States as the first American to win the Tour de France to relaunching his company, <a href="https://lemond.com">LeMond Bikes</a>. Greg talks about growing up with no expectation of ever being recognized by mainstream media and how he’s proud of being a part of a manufacturing revolution with carbon fiber to make cycling more accessible to people everywhere. Plus, he lets us in on how e-bikes make you a bionic person? If his perspective on cycling doesn’t make you want to get out and ride, I don’t know what will! </p><p>** </p><p>🚲💨 TOPICS DISCUSSED 🚲💨</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Greg-LeMonds-Complete-Book-Bicycling/dp/0399514392" target="_blank">Greg’s “Complete Book of Bicycling” </a>(1988)</p><p>DOCUMENTARY on the 1986 Tour de France - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4gV2lJgycc" target="_blank">Slaying the Badger</a> (2014)</p><p>The Relaunch of <a href="https://lemond.com/" target="_blank">Lemond Bikes </a></p><p>The Rise and Fall of <a href="https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/29177242/the-rise-fall-lance-armstrong-need-know-watching-lance" target="_blank">Lance Armstrong</a></p><p><a href="https://redhookcrit.com/" target="_blank">The Red Hook Crit</a> (a Bike race) </p><p><br />Greg Lemond Quotes</p><p>“If you’re confident about yourself, you don’t need to be arrogant.”</p><p>**</p><p>Sponsored by Standard & Strange – <a href="https://standardandstrange.com/pages/blamo">Get the facts on denim here</a>.</p><p>And the Zodiac Sea Wolf GMT 'Crystal' <a href="https://topperjewelers.com">Topper Edition from Topper Jewelers</a>. </p><p>**</p><p>Want even more Blamo?
