Watch Lance’s podium speech.

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

(Composed by Francis Scott Key, “In Defense of Fort McHenry”, September 20, 1814.)

Quote from Road to Paris (while training on the Galibier in April):

Lance (shivering in the snow after 5 hours of training): “Hey Johan, I think I want to ride a little more.”
Johan: “Why don’t you do 10km more of uphills.”
Lance: “I’ll go down 10k and come back”
Cut to a shot of Lance disappearing into the fog on the descent.

“Getting seven isn’t at the motivational core of Lance, it’s more like, I’m going to go to the tour and kick the shit out of everybody.”
–Chris Carmichael, Coach

Eighty-seven percent of sports fans between the ages of 12 and 64 know who he is, and of those, 33 percent call him their favorite athlete.

“He has had a profound impact, he has shown you can not only survive this
disease, but thrive and excel. He’s shown that you can go on to do monumental
things.”
–Jenesse Miller, American Cancer Society Spokeswoman

“Cancer is my secret because none of my rivals has been that close to death and it makes you look at the world in a different light and that is a huge advantage.”
–Lance Armstrong
