"Ignorance, aggressiveness and self-abandonment disappeared with my previous strength, which undoubtedly helped me win the Tour de France." Lance said.
For a year, Dr. Knicks didn't allow Lance to participate in any competition. So what should we do? Laziness is not lance's character. Do something for patients, why not set up a cancer foundation? His former sponsor also expressed support. Lance immediately set about this work, and thus got to know his later wife, the beautiful and capable Christine. They jointly planned the "Rose Bike Race" symbolizing love. 1In March 1997, the first "Rose Bike Race" raised $200,000 for the Foundation. Later, this event became the largest public bicycle race in the world.
That summer, Lance and Christine started a romantic trip to Europe. During the Tour de France, chris Ting cheered when he saw colorful riders galloping past the towering Pyrenees.
"Honey, go back to your position!"
"Is that okay?"
"Compared with chemotherapy, the biggest steep slope in the Alps has also become flat. Texas Bulls will definitely make a comeback! "
Lance rode a dusty racing car to the sun again, venting his excess strength everywhere like a trapped animal. He galloped on the fantastic mountain road and recovered the feeling of that year bit by bit.
A year later, he tried to take part in the competition. As a result, I won 14 in the five-day cross-Spain competition, which surprised myself. Careful fans found that Lance was no longer the reckless teenager he used to be, and he began to pay attention to tactics and consciously control his own strength. Don't be aggressive, and keep your opponent humble if necessary. Lance's performance is rising, ranking fourth in the American professional championship, the Tour of Holland and the Tour of Spain, and winning the Tour of Luxembourg in one fell swoop! Facing the shock of the world car world, Lance was very calm, and he fixed his eyes on the Tour de France!
Lance started intensive training in Alps and Pyrenees, so he gave up dozens of international competitions. He repeatedly looked for the balance between weight and car weight, the critical value of kicking and speed, and the best ratio of diet and consumption. He knows that if you want to win the Tour de France, you must stick to it when others want to give up. To this end, he chose heavy rain, sultry and foggy weather for intensive training. In the most difficult stage of Notre Dame, Lance tied the world record in one fell swoop. He couldn't believe it, so he immediately went back to ride again, and the result was an increase of 47 seconds! Victory is in the bag! Lance clenched his fist.
Lance won the Tour de France with absolute advantage 1999.
Lance couldn't help crying when he held the trophy high. He jumped off the platform and hugged his wife and mother tightly. Medical workers and cancer friends in Indianapolis fried the pot in front of the big screen. La Tres hugged little Kelly and shouted excitedly, "He beat cancer!" " "America is boiling. This is the first time that an American has won the Tour de France. Nike sent a special plane to take Lance home, and Mayor new york attended the reception. Wall Street asked Lance to ring the bell of the exchange, and millions of citizens stood on both sides of the street to greet the national hero.
Lance continued this myth.
