TOUR DE FRANCE ​​​​​​​​​​​

​David Stern joined ABC Sports’ and ESPN’s coverage of the Tour de France, where Greg LeMond became the first American to win the tour three times. He won the race in the most exciting finish the Tour has ever seen. Heading into
the final stage, LeMond was in second place overall. He was 50 seconds behind Laurent Fignon, who had won the Tour twice. LeMond rode the time trial using novel aero bars, which gave him an aerodynamic advantage, to beat Fignon by 58 seconds and claim his second yellow jersey with a final margin of eight seconds—the closest in the Tour’s history. Champagne flowed on the Champs-Elysees well past midnight. LeMond and his wife Cathy spent a lot of time with the ABC caravan as we traversed the countryside of France, celebrating a race that will never be forgotten by the French or the Americans.
