Cycling great LeMond in carbon fiber venture
By Cameron Best, ABC News
Former Reno resident Greg LeMond is an innovator and businessman who just happened to win the world’s most famous bike race — three times.
LeMond won the Tour de France in 1986, 1989 and 1990 riding carbon fiber bikes, and pioneered the use of the strong, lightweight material in cycling.
His latest venture with Victoria’s Deakin University will develop new ways to dramatically cut the cost of carbon fiber production for a wide range of uses.
