1989 Tour de France duel

You probably know that the 2020 Tour has been rescheduled to start on August 29th.  Hopefully, that will go off as planned, but I am anticipating a real void in July with no Tour to watch.  So I've decided to revisit the 1989 race, the one that featured a great duel between Greg LeMond and Laurent Fignon.  

Guest Speaker at the April LWA meeting was Kim Geist.  Her presentation touched upon modifying exercise and nutrition for being solo and/or indoors, in the context of restructuring goals and motivation towards them during times of uncertainty.
