"LeMonSTER"
Q1. In addition to his widely heralded
Three Tour de France wins, Lemond had three additional Grand Tour
Podiums. Can you name all three?
Q2. Often chided for poor early season
form, Lemond actually won quite a number of early season races. In
fact, Greg Lemond won stages at all of the following early season
events SAVE ONE: Mediterranean Tour, Tirreno-Adriatico, Paris-Nice,
& Tour of Valencia.
Q3. The event where Lemond won the
most stages in his career was the Tour de France with five: The
Final TT in 1985, the Superbagneres Mountain Stage in 1986, and two
TTs and a road stage in 1989. In which event, did Lemond score his
SECOND highest number of Stage wins

Answers
A1. 3rd in the 1984 Tour,
3rd in the 1985 Giro, and 2nd in the 1985 Tour.
He also was a very close 4th (after some very bad luck)
in the 1986 Giro.
A2. Only in Paris-Nice was Greg not
triumphant at least once. Lemond won Stage 3 of Tirreno in 1982, a
stage in the Mediterranean Tour in 1983, and a stage in Valencia in
1986.
A3. It is actually a tie: Greg won
four stages in both the Dauphine Libere (three in 1983 enroute to the
win there and another in 1984) and the Coors Classic (two enroute to
victory in 1981, one in 1985 again enroute to victory, and one in
1986).
