Laurent Fignon died yesterday from pancreatic cancer. Terribly sad news, one of the sports greatest. Two time winner of the tour and who can ever forget when LeMonde beat him on that famous day by eight seconds in the time trial.

He would have won more had he not been racing in probably the greatest era of the tour. Sad news to hear of his death. RIP
