Circuit de la Sarthe 1980

In 1980, 18 year-old LeMond was the first American to win a European pro-amateur stage race. He was congratulated by Roger Legeay who would become his team director 10 years later. One week later, in the Ruban Granitier de Bretagne stage race, LeMond was discovered by Cyrille Guimard, the team director of Renault.
