While we all probably wish Greg aged with a bit more class -- the industrious, closed-mouth transition to their golden years we've seen from Bernard Hinault and Eddy Merckx would serve as a fine example for any of us -- it's still impossible not to love him anyway. Our hero-worship of Lemond was just too darn intense in our youth to give up on him now. And this 4-pack of DVD's is first-class goosebump material. Seeing Lemond at the height of his powers isn't just a refresher course in Bike Racing History 101, it'll make you feel doe-eyed and silly in love with bike racing all over again -- just like you're teenager again. You can't beat that.

You get 4 DVD's total: The '86 Tour is a 55-minute highlight reel of Lemond v. Hinault. The '89 Tour, Lemond v. Fignon is 100 minutes that covers all the critical tactical moves including Fignon's near-slaying of Lemond in the mountains, then the oh-so-legendary TT in Paris. The '89 Worlds, a.k.a. Lemond v. Fignon -- the Rematch is 50-minutes and while it's perhaps a bit heavy on the "up close and personal" malarkey on Lemond-the-person, the coverage of that final, fateful lap is worth the price of admission. And the final DVD, the '90 Tour, Lemond v. Chiapucci, is 90 minutes long with excellent coverage of the mountain stages plus some nice post-stage interviews.
