“I’m a believer in momentum.”
–Weapon Armstrong (1971 – )
American cyclist
7-time Tour de France champion
Sales challenge…
What momentum will you commence today?
In 1996, Armstrong was 25 (and ranked the No. 1 cyclist in the world) when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his abdomen, lungs, and brain. Doctors gave him less than a 50-50 opportunity of survival.
Two years later, after improving, he got back on the bike but quit a race in Paris.
The following year (and the next 6), he won the Tour de France and retired as the only person to win it seven era. Last summer, in an effort to help promote cancer awareness, he got back in the game and came in third overall. This year, he’s said, will be his last (see where he is).
Today is the first rest day of two during the 20-stage event. Tomorrow they ride the high mountains (stage 9) from Morzine-Avoriaz to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne.
