Its Not About The Bike

Product Description

Winner of the William Hill sports book of the year. I want to die at a hundred years old after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour. I dont do anything slow not even breathe. I do everything at a fast cadence: eat fast sleep fast. At twenty-four Lance Armstrong was already well on his way to becoming a sporting legend. Then in October 1996 he was diagnosed with stage four testicular cancer
- doctors gave him a 40% chance of survival. On that day Armstrongs life changed for ever & in typical fashion he met the challenge head on
- this was one fight he was determined not to lose. As he battled against the cancer invading his body & the chemotherapy that threatened to sap his soul he focussed on his training & drew strength from the people around him who never gave up. Just sixteen months after Armstrong was discharged from hospital he entered the Tour de France a race famed for its gruelling intensity. Just a few months after that he became a father. Its Not About the Bike is the story of one mans inspirational battle against the odds charting his progress through triumph tragedy & transformation.
