Lance Armstrong
Image
When I was sick, I didn't want to die. When I race, I don't want to lose. Dying and losing, it's the same thing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
We sped on, across the plains, toward Metz. I hung back, saving myself. It is called the Race of Truth. The early stages separate the strong riders from the weak. Now the weak would be eliminated altogether.
