Here is what Lemond looked like for his ITT win and overall TdF Win from Paris to Versailles...a bit downhill but he averaged 54 kph. Delgado showed up something like 2.5 minutes late for the Prologue, and may have just won that TdF between his losses there and the ITT. RIP Laurent Fignon, you were awesome beyond your age when you broke through in 83: Overall win, white jersey, combination jersey that year. The podium in 89 had three former winners (Lemond86+Fignon83+Delgado88).
I think Lemond chopped off the tail of his Giro because he rode so much with head down.
Today is TdF ITT. I don't think this one is going to be exciting as its not on the last day in Paris (or the last day in Rome with cat like reflexes of Team mechanics saving Menchov on a cobble wipe out with a miracle bike save) but lets see.
Will anyone beat his average speed (Pau to Pau) today?
