• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Laurent Fignon died today from cancer at 50.

One hell of a rider. Very nice words from Greg Lemond and Lance Amstrong among many. We will miss him next Tour de France (he was a commentator on French TV).

I knew he was in a bad way Dominique, word of his passing has not made its way here. If anything, he was better as the French commentator than as a rider, at least his personality. I got to see him race in two Tour de Ponts in the eartly 1990s, where I worked neutral support.

My sincere condolences to his family, friends, fellow bikers, and all Frenchmen.

I remember when he won that second Tour de France against "The Badger" in 1984, I was in college at the time.
What a "Battle Royal" on that one climb, and then he left Hinault in the dust.
My condolences as well.
