Virus Sidelines Greg LeMond for Rest of Month
Greg LeMond, two-time winner of the Tour de France, will stay out of racing this month to recuperate from a virus, his Z cycling team said Tuesday.
The illness caused LeMond to drop out of recent races, cancel the rest of his European spring season and return to the United States.
“He won’t ride for all of April,” team spokesman Michel Laurent said. “He is going to use the rest of the month to rest.”
LeMond returned to his Wayzata, Minn., home over the weekend to rest and prepare for the Tour de Trump in May. He plans to return to Europe for the Tour of Italy, May 18-June 6 before the start of the Tour de France, June 30.
