Greg LeMond 1986 - cycling figurine

Greg LeMond, 1986 — the Tour de France would never be the same again.

A collector's piece crafted by hand, for true fans of the Grande Boucle.

The 1986 Tour: the battle that defined an era

The 1986 Tour de France stands as one of the most dramatic editions in the race's modern history. Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinault, both riding for La Vie Claire, were locked in a rivalry that captivated the cycling world — teammates in name, rivals in spirit. Hinault, a five-time Tour winner, had pledged to support LeMond after the American had done the same for him in 1985. Yet on the alpine stages, that promise was fiercely tested. The iconic Alpe d'Huez stage — where the two men crossed the finish line hand in hand — remains one of the most unforgettable images in professional cycling. LeMond ultimately prevailed by three minutes, becoming the first non-European winner of the Tour. A defining moment for the sport on both sides of the Atlantic.
