My understanding was that LeMond rode Della Santas until he went to Europe. I suppose his Renault Gitanes could have been Della Santas, but La Vie Claire rode the Look KG86 and I'm pretty sure Greg was on a Look. The ADR bike was a Bottechia? The Ti LeMond brand bikes during his Z days were Clark Kents and the carbons were Calfees.

VeloNews' 1st "Buyer's Guide", 2003, had an introductory article, "Five
legends remember their favorite bikes." The story of LeMond began with a
photograph of a young of LeMond, "LeMond with his first love: his yellow
Cinelli in 1976" was the caption. However, the headtube logo seen in the
photograph was not that of a Cinelli. Richie Sachs was the first to
identif y it as a Della Santa logo. And subsequently I spoke to Roland
and he confirmed that the bike was his. So yes, he built bikes used by
LeMond.
Don't know if used any in a Tour or if he built any under the LeMond
brand.
Perhaps you can ask him via his contact info at
