From the Inside Flap
The sight of Lance Armstrong, hunched in streamlined perfection, has become the icon for excellence on the bicycle. His face, etched with effort, defines champion for millions of people worldwide. He's the most admired athlete in the world--a hero in a sport dominated for over a century by Europeans. Lance Armstrong earned his stripes the hard way. Five times now he's won the world's most grueling sporting contest, the Tour de France. One time, he's won the most crucial battle of all--a fight for his life against cancer.
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.
