LeMond earns yellow jersey in suit against Yellowstone (yes, I thought so too)

If you are a hipster nerd cycling fan you know that we are right in the middle of the Tour de France (and, more importantly, on the eve of RAGBRAI!).  To honor this I bring you cyclist-related litigation.  Three-time TDF winner Greg LeMond just won in a property-related suit against the Yellowstone Club, a (now bankrupt) members only ski and golf resort southwest of Bozeman.  The Montana Supreme Court ruled that LeMond holds a legitimate claim for damages against the club for a promise to deed a five-acre lot at the club to LeMond in exchange for bringing in 10 new members.  The court remanded the case to determine the amount of the award. It will be in the range of $1 million – a whole lot.
