One eye open and dreaming; were the building on fire, I suspect this shell of a man could hardly be bothered to move from his bench.
As a Cyclist, the enormous weight of the total exhaustion felt by LeMond at this moment fills my spirit with equal measures of dread and envy.

I'm sure I've seen this photo before and it's been discussed here but I've only just noticed the bars.
What's the deal with the drop extensions coming in like that - I can't imagine how you would actually use them or what they add, apart from an extra few grams.
@Nate
Pretty sure BMC's P-R is going to be all about Thor.
New respect for LeMan.
My first long ride was 50 miles on my LeMond Reno steel 7 speed.
When I got into serious cycling my longest ride for a while was 190km on that same bike.
It's now bike #4 but I think I may need to treat it better after seeing this photo!
@ChrisO
Basically a more tucked in aero position, I think there is some video of him descending on them.
While lookiong for example pics I found this, completely OT, but RDV doing some 'cross.
@Rob
Och aye laddie, the Jockey Cap Motel, the deep woods of New Hampshire, three strapping male cyclists, two beds.
@ChrisO
This photo is the whole package of 'good stuff' Chris! Scott bars I don't/ didn't get either, maybe aero tuck pre Cinelli Spinachi's? Only other reason apart from that is being a good place to put the SCOTT sticker so it was photographed.
Steel framed bike Columbus tubing with LeMond stickers & paint job. Giro Air Attack Helmet,Time Equipe pedals, Campy Record C gruppo & rims , steel TA bottle cages,old school Oakley's. The shoes were probably custom made as Greg was supposed to have different sized feet. The shoe stickers say Brancale, but when you saw his shoes up close looked like they were custom & not like anything on sale back then. 3rd rider back in the photo ( light green Tulip top) is Adri Van der Poel, this guy was a neat classics rider in the 80's & 90's
@Nate
Wow - Great footage. Forgot what a beast Argentin was, and yet Kelly still closed on him with ease... was there any doubt he was going to win at that point?

Nice catch on Van der Poel. I remember him from those classics as well, and then he went on win a CX world championship. His son Mathieu won this years junior worlds CX title...I guess the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
What's the "Z" on the jersey stand for?
What a great photo frank! The fact that your words are at a minimum is perfect! Nothing more is needed once one fully appreciates that look on his face, excellent stuff.
