ESPN Doing A 30 For 30 Documentary On "Slaying The Badger"
This news makes me ecstatic, ESPN FINALLY does something about this, and shows Greg in a positive way.
Can't wait to see this:
Slaying the Badger
Directed and written by John Dower
(UK) – World Premiere, Documentary
Before Lance Armstrong, there was Greg LeMond, who is now the first and only American to win the Tour de France. In this engrossing documentary, LeMond looks back at the pivotal 1986 Tour, and his increasingly vicious rivalry with friend, teammate, and mentor Bernard Hinault. The reigning Tour champion and brutal competitor known as “The Badger,” Hinault ‘promised’ to help LeMond to his first victory, in return for LeMond supporting him in the previous year. But in a sport that purports to reward teamwork, it’s really every man for himself. An ESPN Films Production.
(No release date yet, but Greg's saying this year sometime)
