Echoes' Cycling Biography #4: Jean-Pierre Monseré

-
September 08, 2013, 14:12 Introduction This biography is meant to be published on September 8 2013 for the 65th anniversary of Jean-Pierre Monseré 's birth. His pro career being brutally shortened by tragedy it looks as if this biography might be very short, but there was a life before the World title, the "default" Lombardy victory and the tragic crash at the kermess of Retie.

But as he described his plunge from De Paul basketball star to cocaine addict to inmate in the maximum security Joliet Correctional Institution, the divisions became obvious: The Dream. The Nightmare. The Resurrection. The Future. The inner-city environment on Chicago`s West Side , his own short-sightedness and what he calls the ''spoiled'' life of a high school and college star thrust Dillard into his lifelong dream that he would play pro basketball. His trauma when that dream died turned him to the nightmare of drugs and prison. He says he`s been reborn in prison. He dreams now of earning his college degree, being paroled in 1992 and working with kids. When Dil...
