It's
Not About the Bike : My Journey Back to Life
by Lance Armstrong ,
Sally Jenkins (Contributor)
The inspiring journey of world-class hero Lance
Armstrong, from the dark night of advanced cancer through his
dramatic victory in the 1999Tour de France, and beyond.
In 1996, twenty-four-year-old Lance Armstrong was
ranked the number-one cyclist in the world. But that October, "The
Golden Boy of American Cycling"was sidelined by excruciating pain.
Tests revealed advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his
lungs and brain. His chance for recovery was as low astwenty
percent.
Armstrong embarked on the most aggressive form of chemotherapy
available and underwent surgery to remove cancer that the
treatments couldn't reach. Fivemonths after his diagnosis, he
resumed training under a cloud of uncertainty, and the path back
to competition wasn't smooth. It took a ride with friendsthrough
the mountains of North Carolina for Armstrong to rediscover his
genuine love of the sport, and to rededicate himself to its
pursuit...

Tour de France
5-Tape Limited Edition Boxed Set

With a stunning win in the 2002 Tour de France, Armstrong
becomes the fourth cyclist ever to have won four consecutive
tours! This newest chapter in cycling history unfolds in a Tour
marked with stunning break-aways, brilliant attacks, and an
extraordinary effort by Postal, which many observers now calling
one of the best teams in the last 50 years! A win in the prologue
time trial signals Lance's plans to win, but then a wild first
week ensues. When Armstrong loses the Stage 9 time trial to
Kelme's Botero, many believe that Lance has slipped. But Armstrong
answers back on the first day in the Pyrennes. Roberto Heras
single-handily devastates the field with a powerful pace on the
climb to LaMongie, and then it is Lance, Heras and ONCE'S Beloki
near the summit when Armstrong jumps clear for a stage win and a
lead he will never relinquish. Lance wins the next stage too but
not before swashbuckling star Laurent Jalabert launches a stunning
breakaway. "Ja-Ja" fails to win, but he keeps attacking on Stages
16 and 17. ONCE battles to find a chink in the Postal armor, but
the boys in blue dominant the race to the end in what Lance calls,
"the year of the team." Lance puts his cap on the race with a
convincing victory in the final time trial. In the end it's
Armstrong, ONCE'S Beloki, and Lampre's Rumas on the podium. With
commentary and analysis from Phil Liggett, Paul Sherwin, and Gary
Imlach, the 2002 Tour de France is an instant WCP classic!
