It's Not About the Bike, It's About You

In case you were wondering what Lance Armstrong's motivation is for going after an unprecedented 8th Tour de France victory, you need only watch the video, Driven, below. Sadly, he isn't lacking in motivation...

This is similar to the Nike commercial from his early Tour victories.

Blah. Blah. Blah. You're still doping, Lance.

Interesting perspective Anon. I suppose it's easier to just slam the guy despite the fact that to date, there has not been one shred of evidence supporting your claim other than hearsay. Sure we can all argue the Frankie Andreau claim or the Motorola years or the former Posties but at the end of the day, he's clean as per the testing standards of WADA, the UCI, USA Cycling, The French Government and so on. Not to mention the most tested athlete in pro sport period.

So I ask you, what does it matter? I mean if the guy is giving hope to millions of people across the world, shouldn't we celebrate that? Shouldn't we celebrate that he has done more for American cycling than all previous pros before him?

You heard it here first: LA by 2.5 minutes.
