A 208-page coffee-table photographic book authored by Lance Armstrong and Graham Watson. This beautifully-designed book is a photographic record of Armstrong's incredible career between the beginning of 1992 and the end of 2003 - a career that Graham has followed and photographed intensely. The book contains around 250 color images of Armstrong, including dozens of images shot exclusively for the book and never seen before. If you think you knew Armstrong the cyclist, then this book will show you images of him off the bike too - in the privacy of his homes, on commercial-film shoots, in his private plane, and relaxing with friends, family and teammates. Of course, each and every element of Armstrong's racing career is illustrated in careful detail, for example his epic victory in the 1993 World Championships in Norway, his comeback year of 1998, and then his first-ever Tour de France win the following year. Hardcover. 11 ½" x 9" In this book you will find: -Never-before-seen pictures intimate pictures of Lance Armstrong in competition and off the bike--taken with friends and family, coaches, and fellow cyclists--as well as stunning full-color views capturing the grandeur of the sport, by cycling's top photographer, Graham Watson. -A moving introduction by the man who in 2002 was selected as Sports Illustrated "Sportsman of the Year," whose confrontation with death taught him--and all those he inspired--how to face life's challenges with courage, perseverance, and hope.

DVD is not region restricted, it will play in any country. In the end, the startling fact wasn’t that Lance Armstrong won the 2004 Tour de France. The surprise was how masterfully he did it, casting off the pre-race contenders stage by stage and forcing the millions of French spectators to grant him due respect, and even a healthy dose of affection. He returned the favor on the podium, addressing the throngs in French. He also strongly praised his US Postal Service teammates. The familiar "Blue Train" never looked more formidable and efficient than in this year’s tour, its last under USPS sponsorship. This was one of the most thrilling Tours in years, with suspense building every day as to whether Armstrong would shatter one of the most revered records in cycling. That he accomplished that feat is now an historic fact of immense scope, and the full fabric of the achievement and the many smaller dramas of the 2004 Tour are all contained in this epic DVD. This is truly a "must-have" for any cycling collection! Armstrong not only won both time trials but three other stages as well, in stark contrast to 2003 when he faltered several times and barely beat Jan Ullrich by 61 seconds. This year Ullrich was expected to be an even stronger challenger but finished in fourth place, almost nine minutes behind Lance. Second place went to Ullrich’s T-Mobile teammate, Andreas Kloden, who bumped Ivan Basso, an Italian with CSC, to third place in the next to last stage. Basso had been Armstrong’s closest contender for most of the race. Other sterling efforts are captured here as well: Richard Virenque won his 7th King of the Mountain title, a record, and Aussie Robbie McEwen wins the green points jersey for the second time in three years. It all came to a close on a picture perfect Paris day. You can’t ask for a better finish to an historic event!
