American Lance Armstrong is famous for his achievements and courage in cycling. While he was a middle school student, Lance often rode his bike over 320 km in one day. By 1996 he was one of the top cyclists in the world. However, his way to success didn’t go well. Later that year, a serious pain in his lower body made him stop riding. Doctors told him that he had cancer. Like the other challenges in his life, Lance faced it head-on. In May of 1998, he began to make a comeback. He trained hard and led the American team to win the Tour de France in 1999. He went on winning the Tour de France from 2000 until 2004.
