Lance Armstrong
It's tougher for me. But I don't think that's imperative to me starting a new movement, or revive an old movement, to help people.

Lance Armstrong
My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.
Lance Armstrong
But, listen, Eddie Merkyx would have won six Tours if he hadn't been punched.
Lance Armstrong
Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.
Lance Armstrong
I tried to control the narrative.
Lance Armstrong
Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.
Lance Armstrong
When I made the decision - when my team-mates made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision - it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. But it happened.
Lance Armstrong
