Looking For Lance.

The brash city of Austin, Texas, was where Lance Armstrong started competing in cycling. He won about twenty thousand dollars a year in triathlons, but chose cycling. He was soon in the U.S. National team, beating the world's best pro-am riders. After the 1992 Barcelona Olympics he turned professional with Motorola. Lance won the U.S.Triple Crown across three states, ending in Philadelphia where he sprinted to win up a steep hill, then collected a million dollars. It was not about the bike, though, when he got cancer in 1996 and had all the treatments. He won that particular race, however. He started his own cancer foundation for research. His supporters wore the 'Live Strong' armband. Two years after recovery he would win the Tour de France seven times, then lose it all over illegaldrugs. Today Lance uses his iPhone to contact and support those in the cancer community. 5-7 August,2017. (Lance Armstrong b.1972) .
