Legeay was the manager of the Peugeot cycling team in its final year of existence in 1986. In 1987, he created the Vétements Z–Peugeot team as a continuation of the Peugeot cycling team, which he managed until 2008. During its existence, due to changes in sponsorship, the team was renamed Z–Peugeot (1988–89), Z–Tomasso (1990), Z (1991–92), GAN (1993–96) and Crédit Agricole (1997–2008). Legeay's team is best remembered for being the team which the American cyclist Greg LeMond rode for when he won the Tour de France in 1990.
In 2007 Legeay was involved in the founding of the Mouvement pour un cyclisme crédible, an organisation of teams and others involved in cycle racing promoting more rigorous standards regarding combating doping in the peloton. He became the movement's president and continued in this role after the disbanding of the Crédit Agricole team.[3]
