As the Tour de France kicks off on VERSUS on July 4th at 9:30 am EST, Lance Armstrong will be competing for his 8th title, but he feels his legacy isn’t nearly as important as his new goal – curing cancer.
“You look at 2005 and people start to say ‘What a perfect way to end’ and then rides off into the sunset. From a sports perspective, it puts it out there as potentially damaging, this “legacy”. But I think in start to bring about change to cancer worldwide, then I’m not worried about the other legacy.”
In “Lance Armstrong: The Comeback Story” airing on VERSUS, July 4th at 8:30 am EST, Lance talks in-depth about his passion to find a cure for cancer as the motivation for his return.
“It really is the main motivation to be back doing this. We’re at a point now where we felt that we could take this message and we can effect lives, we can effect change, and ultimately create more survivors around the world.”
