LeMond calls on UCI chiefs to quit

Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond has called for the resignation of Pat McQuaid, the president of cycling’s world governing body the UCI.

In an open letter published on Facebook, LeMond, winner of the 1986, 1989 and 1990 Tours and now the only American winner of the Tour after Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven titles, was critical of Irishman McQuaid and his predecessor Hein Verbruggen, who remains honorary president of the organisation.
