Nope - don't think so.

 

He's quite friendly - read an article by a journalist about how he interviewed Lemond at the height of his fight with Trek. Lemond saw the terrible condition of his bike, was incredulous that he actually rode it, then immediately offered this penniless nobody journo one of his own bikes from his garage.

 

He may not be everyone's favourite, but he will always be a hero of mine because he evokes such a sense of time and place for me - he was champion when I first became interested in cycling.

Looking at that previous champs pic, Monsieur Le Mond looks like an unfriendly bugger.

 

I will get grilled and pulled over the coals if I was to say something about the man again.

Disappointments for me, and I guess they are getting on and play a more background roll now, Roche and Chavanel.

 

Cuddles I feel a lot of sympathy for. In his prime he rode clean against cheats. That's my feeling anyway.

Interesting that Ogrady signed new contract last month but today announced immediate retirement.

Voeckler also didn't entertain at all in TDF 2013

Or maybe his name is on the list to be published by the French senate with '98 TdF positives?

You both Green with Envy maybe ?? :)

Of Sagan?! Noooo... Cav', TJ, Froome, Porte maybe. Quintana was my man of the tour. Showed his stuff by pedaling when it mattered.

Interesting guy that, and a serious contender for the future.

Looks like he is from one of the Indian tribes.

Also not as backward as we think, his Wiki page is already updated.

Really enjoyed watching OGE obviously with a Impey bias! Yes Goss disappointed but rest were great.

To think both them and Argos' are so young on the WorldTour calendar and already making huge impressions.

 

Fresh air into cycling.

Sagan is unbelievably talented but I can see some Borat in him. I just wonder if he can be transformed into a GC contender?
