I have a Lemond bike. The geometry is perfect for me. I loved the titanium/carbon blend.

This guy doped himself up to the gills

Does LaMond think that any cyclist is clean?

Take's one to know one , greg your a doper 2

Yeah I wanted to like Greg but he seems bitter and jealous of Armstrong. And I guarantee he was performance enhancing drugs in his time as well.

From the sound of it, it's like the downhill question is from a beginner, and you guys' answer IMO is an overkill for this specific case, but information wise it's all good advice. From my own experience, if you are a beginner descender, the rule of thumb is don't go over too much above the fastest speed you can do on the flat, and better respect that speed limit road sign. When at speed, the handling characteristic of a bicycle is very different from low speed, you need learning. The visual information processing is very different too, you need learning. It's like when you first learn driving a car, when you on a freeway doing 80 the visual information is just so overwhelming, a beginner could only last 30 minutes before fatigue, while a seasoned driver could just relax and last for hours given the person doesn't fall asleep. You brain needs to train itself to process such information efficiently. Let's say if usually you only go 30 some kph, even the 40 kph is a lot of difference. So when you go on a downhill, just don't go over it too much. Another good reference is the speed limit on the road, usually that's conservative enough to guarantee your safety. Even though you have done all of this, the gravity dragging you down and the "can't stop" feeling will still be very scary. Plus when in situations like steep incline + U-turn you still have very good possibility to overshoot because it's very hard to judge the corner without experience. Even if you are experienced sometime you still makes mistakes on the unfamiliar new course. I know all of this may sound too simple and primitive to you guys, but for someone who is inexperienced, it's still better to start from somewhere conservative and safe. You can't go wrong with slow, but sometimes for real beginner, the question is, "how slow". And that's just my 0.02.

Having been a massive fan of Lance and Greg. I got out of a heroin addiction with the help of cycling. Bought a Fondriest bike. Nobody could understand why I would pay 2k for a cycling frame that you could lift with ur pinkie finger. Here I am 24 years later. Just found this content after the Lance documentary. I wanna get on a bike ASAP. Thanks for the content my friends

Stay at home dad! Ha. This snitch is such a has been.

Have a look at the history of his results since he started age 9. Texan bully is like dog's poo, scraped off and forgotten. There is nothing, absolutely nothing these two have in common

Bob Roll Is a scumbag. Greg is the benchmark of American Cycling and I believe he was clean. Winning the TDF with 30 pellets still lodged in his heart and lungs?? Thats the real comeback, not getting "C" cause you were putting D-ball on your corn flakes in high school. I was Cat 1 in my first season of racing in 1992. In 1994 I got a UCI Pro card. Had a nasty crash in June, rehabbed and had a good spring, and quit the toxic sport in May of 1995 for all the reasons that are only now being spoken of 30 years later...Not a very impressive group of young men involved in my generation, in fact characterless weasels. I was lucky to race one time near Greg (who was a hero to the entire generation) in 1994 in Atlanta. A completely uneventful experience race-wise having finished in a pack of 50 riders, but one I will remember... Maybe 2/3rds. through a 140 something mile race we both needed wheel changes and spent several miles chasing back on and trading pulls...Smooth as silk...gave me a little nod when we rejoined..made my prize-$$-less day worth a smile. I call bullshit on the "everyone was doing it" narrative. A few talented young pro riders just left the sport instead of lacking character. History is written by the "winners" and the misdirected narrative is then debated and justified. Drugs aren't the problem... characterless, back-stabbing weasels of men are and always have been. You should look up Greg Strock...USCF settled out of court with him but the case is a documented one. I heard there was some sort of gag-order/no speak clause. We never hung but have some mutual friends...He had character & is a Doc. in Indianapolis now.

Greg Lemond was and is a personal hero of mine. The Breaking Away film got me riding a racing bike. Greg Lemond got me racing. God Bless you Roadman, these interviews mean a lot to people of my generation. 🚲

As an amateur cyclist that started riding the year Greg had his comeback win in '89, his words always ring true. I often wondered back in the day how Indurain avoided scrutiny. And I feel like a dope now, pun intended, for always defending Armstrong as the most tested rider in history. I'm already sick of how his image rehab tour is being embraced.

Great attitude - Colin has the perfect mental approach to do this.

I’m sorry, can you run for president in the United States? Don’t worry about that pesky “have to be born in America thing.” Our laws are entirely fluid now. Just spent a month on the road for work. Five countries. Made the decision mid trip, will no longer travel without my Brompton. Health, fun, functionality and a reminder of how little we need even when traveling for work. My customers don’t mind if I’m sweaty. They think it’s funny/cool.

Gary is my coach as well. Can confirm the man’s a legend

Amazing chat quality

Listening to Colin explain his thoughts on risk taking in regards to fatherhood (new father to a young son), to me, seems overly simplistic and narcissistic. A long explanation without being able to actually verbally commit to placing fatherhood above risk taking in his life. The missing point for Colin is risk assessment, with an educated assessment of his endeavors. Using analogies such as sitting on the couch watching Netflix or not driving to work, only shows me this is a guy who still has long way to go on the road to adult maturity. On the flip side, it does appear that subconsciously he may have adjusted his risk tolerance as the RAAM is a little less risky than a solo Antarctica traverse. maybe its just that he cannot bring himself to admit it...... yet.

As an ultra racer I love Lael and all the work she does. Notwithstanding, having crew and loved ones alongside you in an event does bring a huge psychological boost and advantage. Male or female competitor, I still hold this view. Love Lachie Morton, no doubt in my mind having a media crew on his TD run provided a psychological boost.

This podcast has some quality guests 💯

Indeed I’ll never buy another Trek bike or Bell helmet for myself, my kids or grandkids. TEAM GREG

WTF! This is NOT the world's most grueling bike race. The three grand tours are.

Here’s an idea for a future edition: with all the data and anecdotal information about riders upping their carbohydrate intake to over 90 grams per hour, I tried to follow this precept on my longer rides, albeit at much lower consumption given my FTP and age (low and old). That said, I am also getting a lot of advice about insulin resistance and the possibility of developing Type 2 diabetes from stressing my insulin response. There are multiple MD’s online who say that any carbohydrate intake in excess of 75 grams per day is a serious precursor of future problems. I would love to hear a debate between these two dissonant attitudes towards carb consumption.

Sooo, how did Colin get out of the crevasse?

i ma the first

Work on your volume mixing. The vocals are so subdued, the music is too loud

His bit about crashing psychology was interesting. I remember as a cat5 watching videos from other cat5 racers of crashes, and you would literally see what he is talking about. Crash up the road a bit, absolutely avoidable, but riders would just see it and fall over. Panic crash.

What a bird

During Coors Classic in 85 I got to shake a Greg’s hand and get his autograph. Very very nice man.

2 to 2.5 hours beforehand means 3am for us in most case's 😢

Been riding 55mm Rene Herse tires for awhile, love 'em.

Brilliant interview - so transparent well done.

Lachlan Morton hasn’t killed the Spirit of Gravel, Lifetime Grand Prix has. The 1hr highlights coverage package is terrible. So hyped, so frustrating not to be able to watch more of the actual races, too much focus on the commentators and above all, too much focus on the elite top 10. ...The Spirit of Gravel is the 99% of participants who are not in the elite races. The coverage of Unbound should be 50/50 divided between the elite races and the general participants, to celebrate the true Spirit of Gravel ...which is participation. This is what Unbound is built on. The coverage should be less broken and more cohesive, showing more of the actual racing. The commentary is presented as if we have watched the whole race, when in reality we see only snippets inserted amidst commentator hype. Very disappointing coverage, especially given the whole race is filmed by vehicle and chopper. Currently the hype is more important than the actual overall event. This is what's killing the Spirit of Gravel, not the elite riders, who are all awesome. …But no more awesome than every other finisher, who is competing with themselves and enjoying being part of the Spirit of Gravel.

You two are naive beyond belief. What did Greg say? Power curve to rpm on the climb. Empirical science is there to prove doping evidentially. History is there to prove the probability. Just ask your namesake David Walsh and read L A Confidential. Pogacar is in my view a doper. I know the history of cycling well and it is synonymous with doping from strychnine to steroids to EPO and beyond.

Lachlan drinking beer before the podium was pure gravel. Keegan would have made it a better race had he not crashed. He was ahead of Dylan Johnson who was in the mix for spots 3-13 (finished 10th) and Dylan caught Keegan with Matt Beers after the crash.

The old axiom: traditions are solutions to problems that we did not know we had. When people throw off traditions, then the problems begin to resurface.

What does Benji know? He never was doped to his gills in a brutal late summer La Vuelta to win it all at the ripe old age of 42, the perfect age to start winning Grand tours. Your point would be valid if these doped riders turned "expert analysis" men actually told the truth about what was going on when riders get back from a rest day and are suddenly the latest "miracle", full of new bags of blood and vials of EPO. Instead of just babbling on and on about putting rivals to the sword.

Really great podcast thanks Anthony!

What a load of Shite. Froone was just far better than the rest .

You guys are at least three years behind the "death of tHe grAveL sPiRiT!!11!!". "T3H GrAv3L sP1riT" died when someone named Peter Stetina and some other has-been-pros started waxing poetic about the spirit of gravel and then using sad poetry to dictate how the front of the bunch runs and races.

Top man the Beast!!

Lemond is a loser. Get over it

JP: you don't need any of the stuff that they've been going over for the last 9min. In the beginning, wear what you're comfortable with. IF you decide to race AND you're at the pointy end vying for wins, then do what the pros do. I still wear mtn shoes, but there seems to be a trend for road pedals and shoes. You'll want to run lower pressures than you ever thought. There are a couple pressure calculators that work well, but you'll still need to experiment HTH

I Don't care about what they ride They just need to stop promoting poison like coke and Gatorade red bull

The man won Tour Divide… needed rest. Had to back off the efforts and be ready for Unbound. The talk I would like to hear about is, the Aid Stations. In road you don’t attack in the feed zone, gravel don’t care. As for the Gravel World champion, well, when will we see a real course that reflects real gravel? The guy rocks up with two teammates and 40mm tires, what a joke! I’m glad he got a lesson in that half ass rainbow jersey!

Well done. MUCH beter than Nero show!

Lachlan is a lot of talk. He was smashing out 30 hour weeks on the run up to Unbound. Hardly the ‘just going with the flow and just doing what I love/not following high performance’ attitude he likes to promote. Lots of people chat a lot of shit, to present themselves in a way that they want you to see them.

Mate, you need to say “women’s team”…it’s not the “females team”. Just like there are elite men, it’s elite women. Thanks for the great guests on the show.

Using mountain bike shoes .. unless you are in the tdf

Been hit with bright lights and colourful kit. if a driver doesn't want to register you they wont. It might help a little....but it isn't an absolute.
