Laurent, my friend

Greg's Monday article in the newspaper Le Monde is about Laurent Fignon, and is entitled  "Laurent, mon ami".

I found it a very moving piece, because Greg clearly shows that he considers Laurent Fignon as a real friend, even though Fignon wasn't exactly nice towards him in his autobiography, which was just published, and also shows he is affected by Fignon's illness. 

I love how Greg doesn't try to answer Fignon's attacks but only shows his positive feelings towards him. High road always...
