Lance Armstrong Tour Quotations

Without the illness I would never have been forced to re-evaluate my life and my career. I know if I had not had cancer, I would not have won the Tour de France.

I also did this at the Tour of California, which was pretty cool. Today, we helped out when necessary, but a lot of what I did was talk business with Johan.

If I step off the bike it does not mean I'm not involved in the team. I want to develop another American Tour de France winner.

The Tour de France is not the only bike race in the world, but it is the biggest, so the possibility could still exist to do a Tour of Italy, a Tour of Spain.

I look forward to achieving my goal of a seventh Tour de France (victory),

Most folks want to believe in Armstrong, in the credibility of his courage, in the veracity of his inspiration, in the purity of his Tour de France titles. Most want to believe, but does everyone dare? We've been suckers for hearts-and-flowers icons before.

The tables will be turned in six months, when I'll be on a tour bus supporting her.

I realized that the Tour is the one race that makes me tick, ... It's the one that wakes me up early. And it's the one, when I'm suffering like a dog in training, that makes me dig that much deeper. Nothing compares.

If you dominate a world sport you will always have questions and doubts. Perhaps at the end of the day we were too successful. When you win the Tour once, twice, seven times, it is just too hard to believe.

I know that I'm here today and I'm alive today and I've been blessed to have this life and this sport, and I want to win the 2004 Tour de France.
