As long as I heard his type of cancer, last year, I knew that it was difficult for him. Very courageous (the fact that he was still commentating for the french tv this year) and enough unlucky. The Giro he lost from Moser, the TdF he lost in 89, the disappointment as a director of Paris-Nice (all of a sudden after the ASO's takeover there was a queue of sponsors, although disappeared previously) and in the end this damned sickness. RIP Laurent, your figure can not die!
