Item Description
Bid to win a signed copy of the December 2002 Sports Illustrated when Lance Armstrong was named Sportsman Of The Year. After becoming the first American to win the Tour de France four times and the fourth cyclist to win four in a row, Lance Armstrong spoke about his legacy. "There's never been a Tour de France victory by a cancer survivor before me," he said. "That's what I'd like to be remembered for." Forgetting what Armstrong has achieved since returning to cycling after a battle with testicular cancer would be impossible, seeing as he has come to completely dominate his sport's most celebrated competition. The Texan's Tour performances have been so strong, in fact, that in 2002 race officials shifted most of the mountain stages to the end in an effort to increase the drama. But even a more challenging course could not keep Armstrong from reaching his goal. With the help of his U.S. Postal Service teammates, Lance made his customary surge in the Pyrenees on the final climb to La Mongie, winning the first mountain leg and the yellow jersey, which he never relinquished. Armstrong went on to win the Tour by seven minutes and 17 seconds, the second-biggest winning margin of his career, and no other rider finished within 13 minutes of his total time. With the victory, Lance surpassed Greg LeMond as the most successful American cyclist in the history of the Tour. You will also receive a Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team cap. Many thanks for the generosity of Nike, Inc.
