Nine months later, LeMond lay in a hospital bed, his life in peril after a hunting accident, his career as a bicycle racer seemingly over. And yet, barely two years after this crisis, LeMond mounted a comeback. In 1989, he once again won the Tour-by the almost impossibly narrow margin of eight seconds over another French legend, Laurent Fignon. It remains the closest Tour de France in history. The Comeback chronicles the life of this great American athlete, from his roots in Nevada and California to the heights of global fame. With the kind of narrative drive that propels books like Moneyball and a fierce attention to detail, Daniel de Vise reveals the dramatic, ultra-competitive inner world of a sport rarely glimpsed up close, building a compelling case for LeMond as its great American hero. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a LeMond, Greg. 650 0 $a Cyclists $z United States $v Biography. 700 1 $a Cross, Pete. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12131742 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781974914463_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181102010458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E0A0534DE6411E8A1A4695297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
