Photographed by Graham Watson, Images of a Champion celebrates the life of Lance Armstrong through words, stunning photographs, and tributes from friends, family, and competitors. It is a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of what life is like at the pinnacle of achievement.
Graham Watson, cycling's premiere photographer, has followed Lance's career on and off the bike. Even before Lance became a world champion in 1993 at age 21, Graham recognized something was special about the young rising star. They saw a lot of each other over the years and formed a special bond. In Images of a Champion, Graham shows us what Lance is like when around those who know him best, who see not just the victories but what goes into the making of a champion.
Lance Armstrong is a professional cyclist and five-times winner of the Tour de France. British photographer Graham Watson has long specialised in covering competitive cycling; several volumes of his stunning photographs have already been published, including 20 Years of Cycling Photography.
