Eurosport have produced a short film with two of the biggest names of the sport from the 1980s, Sean Kelly and Greg LeMond.
The two former pros are both working for Eurosport on the Tour de France and in the short film, they reminisce about some of their battles from the 80s and also who they think will win on the Champs Elysées today.
The two riders battled in both the Grand Tours and the classics. LeMond most notably won the Tour de France three times and the World Championships twice. Kelly on the other hand missed out on both these races, but won the Vuelta a Espana and most of the big one-day races.
Amongst the classics which Kelly won was Paris-Roubaix in 1984 and 1986 which prompts LeMond to ask as to whether he can swap a Worlds for a Paris-Roubaix.
Cycling & Eurosport legends @GregLemond & Sean Kelly compare notes. Just four GT wins & 10 TDF stages between them.. https://t.co/pSAGye304P

Hall of Fame riders so much respect.
