In July of 1986, Greg LeMond stunned the sporting world by becoming the first American to win the Tour de France, the world's pre-eminent bicycle race, defeating French cycling legend Bernard Hinault. 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.

This was a great in-depth story of Greg Lemond, but it also does a nice job touching on some of the key events of modern cycling history. I was enthralled. I came to really appreciate that Greg Lemond is a cyclist the US can be very proud of. I loved this book and was sad to have it end.

Great Cycling Story

I didn’t know the LeMond story…and this book did a great job of telling it. While there were slow points in the book, there were also those when I was at the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. I had no idea how influential Greg is, and how he sacrificed so much to save professional cycling from itself. Excellent read for cyclists.

Excellent for Cyclists and Greg LeMond Fans
