Goodwood hosted the 1982 World Championships – Britain’s second time as host after Leicester in 1970 – and the men’s road race on the motor racing circuit proved a memorable one.

The official results will forever record Italy’s Giuseppe Saronni as champion, with Greg LeMond second and Sean Kelly third.

But that doesn’t tell half the story of the final lap, where LeMond’s team-mate Jonathan Boyer went solo on the uphill drag to the finish.

Having earned a small gap, the American must have felt good for at least a medal – even though the Italians were closing fast on the climb.

LeMond obviously disagreed, leading the chasing group across to his team-mate, only for Saronni to jump him as soon as the catch had been made.

Should LeMond have attacked? Would Buyer have faded anyway? We’ll never know, and the debate has split opinion. LeMond, of course, answered in the perfect manner with victory the following year in Altenrhein, earning the rainbow jersey for the first time – a feat he would repeat in 1989 after the second of three Tour de France victories.
