Hinault helped which teammate to win the Giro in his Giro-Tour double year?

  • Andy Hampsten

  • Stephen Roche

  • Greg LeMond

  • Marco Pantani

Answer

The answer is Greg LeMond. In 1986, Bernard Hinault won both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, a feat known as the "Giro-Tour double." During the Giro, Hinault selflessly worked as a domestique for his teammate Greg LeMond, who ultimately won the race. Hinault's support and tactical decisions played a crucial role in LeMond's victory.
