Laurent Fignon

Laurent Fignon

Laurent Fignon was a French professional cyclist born on August 12, 1960, who became a prominent figure in the sport during the 1980s. He achieved iconic status with his distinctive glasses and blond ponytail. Fignon was a two-time winner of the Tour de France, claiming victory in 1983 and 1984. He was known for his aggressive riding style and his rivalry with fellow cyclist Bernard Hinault. Fignon's career was highlighted by numerous wins in prestigious races like the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, though he became equally famous for narrowly losing the 1989 Tour by a mere eight seconds to Greg LeMond in a dramatic final time trial. After retiring from competitive cycling, Fignon pursued a career as a television commentator and wrote several books, providing insights into the world of cycling and his experiences as a professional rider. Fignon passed away on August 31, 2010, leaving behind a legacy as one of France's cycling legends.
