NotSoBigBen Posted August 31, 2011 Share I remember an article in one of the cycling mags in '89 with extensive analysis of why Lemond was faster in the TT. Fignon's hair was a major contributer as I recall ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EggsBox Posted August 31, 2011 Share Sad. So there is no relation to how fit you are and living living longer than normal person who does not exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadude Posted August 31, 2011 Share Sad. So there is no relation to how fit you are and living living longer than normal person who does not exercise. Beyond super fit you are just abusing your body. I don't think doing a grand tour is doing your health any favours, and who knows what unsophisticated drugs were being used in those days. Fignon did admit to using amphetamines in his biography. He is still one of my heroes though. Edited August 31, 2011 by velo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
