I guess if I looked at it from an athletic standpoint, I don't really need to win another Tour. Seven Tours for me was a dream, six broke the record, so that eight doesn't really mean much.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong

Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.

Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.

I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things stretching and abdominal work.

The Europeans look down on raising your hands. They don't like the end-zone dance. I think that's unfortunate. That feeling - the finish line, the last couple of meters - is what motivates me.
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
I know what happened to my foundation, from raising no money to raising $500m, serving three million people. Do we want to take that away? I don't think anybody says yes.

Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests.

A bicycle is the long-sought means of transportation for all of us who have runaway hearts.

If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.
