Three-Time Tour de France Winner Greg LeMond and Dr. Mark Hom

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Three-Time Tour de France Winner Greg LeMond and Dr. Mark Hom, the authors of The Science of Fitness:Power, Performance and Endurance.

Born on June 26, 1961, Greg Lemond was the most talented rider in the mid to late 1980’s. He was a proven performer in two of the biggest races of the year: the Tour de France and the World Championship Road Race.

Lemond may have been the most talented cyclist to come from the US. He could sprint, time trial and climb with the best. He was a master at peaking for the big events and was a force in the Grand Tours and one-day races.

Only 5 riders have won more titles in the Tour de France and only 4 riders have won more titles in the World Championship Road Race.

Lemond is 1 of only 5 riders to win the Tour de France / World Championship Road Race double in one year.

Lemond won the Tour de France three times, in 1986 in front of Bernard Hinault of France and Urs Zimmermann of Switzerland, in 1989, in front of Laurent Fignon of France and Pedro Delgado of Spain, and in 1990, in front of Claudio Chiappucci of Italy and Erik Breukink of Holland.
