If you go to Wikipedia and you look at the Tour de France, there's this huge block in World War One with no winners, and there's another block in World War Two. And then it seems like there's another world war.

It's a fact that children with cancer have higher cure rates than adults with cancer, and I wonder if the reason is their natural, unthinking bravery... Adults know too much about failure they're more cynical and resigned and fearful.

Well, you better ride like you stole something 'cause you are about to win a stage in the Tour de Fance.

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

I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life.

We have unrealized capacities that sometimes only emerge in crisis.

I've read that I flew up the hills and mountains of France. But you don't fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else.

It's simple. Success comes from training harder, living better and digging deeper than the others.

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.

Nineteen hundred meters up there is completely different from1,900 any place else. There's no air, there's no oxygen. There's no vegetation, there's no life. There's no life. Rocks. Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.

I am flawed, deeply flawed. I didn't invent the [doping] culture but I didn't try to stop the culture and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for.

Nothing goes to waste, you put it all to use, the old wounds and long-ago slights become the stuff of competitive energy.

At least I didn't invent a dead girlfriend

There was certainly a dishonesty there that I think is totally regrettable and inexcusable. The ringleading, the bullying: not totally true.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The truth is, if you asked me to choose between winning the Tour de France and cancer, I would choose cancer. Odd as it sounds, I would rather have the title of cancer survivor than winner of the Tour, because of what it has done for me as a human being, a man, a husband, a son, and a father.

If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.

A bike ride. Yes, that's it! A simple bike ride. It's what I love to do and most days I can't believe they pay me to do it. A day is not the same without it.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I didn't just jump back on the bike and win. There were a lot of ups and downs, good results and bad results, but this time I didn't let the lows get to me.

No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it

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.

It's nice to win. I'll never win again. I may have to take up golf - take on Tiger.
