Lance Armstrong Interview Part 2
I've always been a massive Lance supporter. The tour has been a part of my formative years and 7 wins in that era... epic. When watching him on any stage you'd have that feeling like when watching Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo in Moto GP, Schui, Vettel, Alonso in F1 that something special could happen. The special thing back then and now is his fight with cancer to come back to the top of his sport. We know why/how it was done now which leaves me feeling bitter and his ignorant arrogance is seemingly a victim of his own success and the pressures of top level cycling. Let be fair most roadies are utter nobs (i formally joined a roadie club, to many egos) but having determination in the face of cancer is essential! No excuse but its a fact! If Lance hadn't won the tour... would we have the exposure cycling has now? Miguel Indurain, Chris Boardman, Erik Zabel, Greg Lemond all amazing cyclist but it was the bang of Lance and the brand that gave cycling a shove and now we've epic riders such as Wiggins, Cavendish, Frome, Cadel Evans, Schleck's etc etc. No doubt he cheated... He's hurt the careers of people around him but i think we should all judge Lance on how he deals with the consequences of his actions. Lets be honest he's gonna get sued, he cant compete anymore... for some this wont be enough and rightly so for those hurt by all this! I'll still wear my Livestrong band because i know what it means to me.
