In what was seemingly a formality after building a four minute plus lead, Lance today rode to his record breaking (his own record) 7th straight Tour de France, widely regarded as the single most physically demanding sporting event in the world.
Everyone knows about his cancer survival, and everyone knows about those yellow bracelets that are everywhere. His cancer foundation (www.livestrong.org) has awarded nearly $10 million in research grants.
What an amazing story. Not only the best athlete of this era (possibly ever), but to be such a force in something as important as cancer research speaks volumes to his character and his thankfulness for surviving cancer.

Lance is an idol for all. The Tour de France and Iron Man are the most grueling events in the sports world and he dominated for 7 consecutive years!!
Congrats Lance
Remember these Chuck Norris Facts
1. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down
2. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday
3. There are no such things as lesbians, just women who have not yet met Chuck Norris
Cheers to Lance!
Lance is a class act. The Tour de France will not be the same without him. I especially enjoyed the years when his team wasn't as strong and he took on everyone one on one. Rarely do we witness an athlete go out when they are on top. He's amazing and will be missed.
