Three times winner of the Tour de France (in 1986, 1989, 1990), Greg LeMond, 60, will not be able to attend the race this year (July 1 to 24). The American, who goes every year for pleasure on the roads of the Tour, must continue treatments aimed at curing leukemia.

The long-term prognosis is very favorable “Said the former double world champion (1983 and 1989).
