Tour Down Under: Lance still wins hearts of fans!


I have a special feeling for this American professional cyclist, Lance Armstrong. It’s not for the reason that he is the 7-time record winner of the tour de France. This US cyclist is born to be a winner like I believe.

Lance might have lost at the Tour Down Under, but didn’t disappoint his worldwide fans. After more than 3 years of hibernation, he’s returned back to professional cycling with the Tour Down Under and its no mean achievement.

The 37-year-old US cyclist had surely exceeded expectations of people, who most of them are his fans, on his return. I believe he will return to world-class form by May 2009 to give a fight at the Giro d’ Italia and in Tour De France by July 2009. Isn’t this telling the kind of a character that this cancer survivor is?

Lance Armstrong fought and survived a testicular cancer, which he was diagnosed in 1996. It was after diagnosed by the dreadful cancer that Lance won the Tour de France for seven times. Thanks to improved medical diagnostics and cancer treatment, Lance, post cancer treatment, is fighting back to come to professional cycling form. I believe he’s got what it takes to clinch another Tour De France title.

His life is an example to say that there is so much power in all of us to do if only there is that WILL to fight! Lance has got strength in his NAME, and he remains role model to cyclists as well as the fighters of cancer disease! Way to go Lance!.....err.....Way to cycle Lance!!
