so greg lemond finally pissed trek bicycles off enough to dump him.
i mean, i guess we had all heard that lemond was a bit of a selfish ego maniac. this was confirmed by some of the stuff that he said about trek's golden boy... while it was maybe (probably) true, biting the business hand that makes and distributes your bikes at the height of their marketplace powers is just about the dumbest thing one could do. sprinkle in a little of the landis posse's shenanigans (not his fault per se, but then again, "trouble seems to follow me") and that's a recipe for disaster.
yes, there's freedom of speech and all that, but lemond isn't being censured by the gov't... he's pissing off a business which is in it for the money.
