Cyclist Magazine Podcast

This week James is joined by Cyclist's very own editor (and his boss), Pete Muir, to interview cycling legend Greg LeMond. LeMond is a great story teller, so this is a long episode, but trust us it's worth the time to hear Greg talk candidly about getting shot and nearly dying, losing contracts, not getting paid, winning it all anyway then finding himself embroiled in cycling's most sordid era.
