About this episode
In the arc of a life – especially one as rich and eventful as Greg LeMond's - certain stories get lost to the grander narrative. But in 1987, the bigger story was still unwritten. That year – soon after he'd won his first Tour de France, in the prime of his career – Greg LeMond was shot, and almost died.
A Grand Tour champion, violence, drugs, intrigue, rehabilitation, and redemption: this is that story.
