LANCE IS NUMBER ONE! TOUR DE FRANCE 2001/... For the third successive year, Lance Armstrong has proven that he’s the most complete cyclist of July. And in the minds of most riders – particularly the likes of, Jan Ullrich, who also has just one focus for the 11-month season – the American is the most accomplished rider of the current generation. Lance’s hat-trick win came through consistency. This year, however, it was also a stage-winning blitz – two time trials and two mountain-top victories – which confirmed the dominance of the rider who, in his own words, wants to be remembered as a cancer survivor. Last year Lance came back for his second consecutive win after fighting testicular cancer into remission.

Lance's story is available in: It's Not About the Bike : My Journey Back to Life.
