SpecialguestGregLeMondisridingtheGranFondo
Greg LeMond is a former professional road bike racer from the United States and a three-time winner of the Tour de France. He was born in Reno, Nevada. In 1986 LeMond became the first American and the first non-European cyclist to win the Tour de France. The following year he was shot and seriously injured in a hunting accident. He was able to return to the Tour in 1989 winning it dramatically in its final stage. He won again for the third time the following year in 1990. He is one of only nine cyclists to have won the Tour three or more times. Be sure to see Greg for at the 3 PM autograph signing.
