Lance Armstrong won the 1999 Tour de France in spectacular style, taking four stages and both a mountain and a time trial. His story is even more remarkable because he was diagnosed with stage 4 testicular cancer in October 1996.

 A great readReviewed by Kevin from Johannesburg, South Africa on 22 August 2003

An inspiring read by an inspiring man. I had always thought the media made more of Lance's cancer than it was. However after reading this I realised that his comeback was a miracle and think he is a remarkable athlete. This book highlights the strategy, comeraderie and ethics involved in cycling, and there are lessons there for other aspects of ones life.

 Verstaan jy wat Fietsry is?Reviewed by Erich Dixon from Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa. on 10 March 2003

Het jy al ooit fietsgery? Nee ek praat nie van die Dik Wiel met die saal vir oorgewig oom’s, wat ons so lekker skool toe getrap het nie. Ek praat van ‘n regte egte “Resies” fiets.
Nog nooit nie? Wel dan het jy seker al die klomp mal sissies met die skoon geskeerde bene en giggel geel Spyderman pakkies aan, gesien bondel ry. Ja die klomp wat jou so de moer in maak wanneer jy haastig is.
As jy ‘n Sport malle is, maar net nie kan verstaan wat mense besiel om op ‘n martel pypie te klim nie, is Lance Armstrong se boek net die ding vir jou. Hy werp lig op die donker onderwerp van kanker. Jy sal begrip kry vir wat kanker regtig is en hoe dit lyers se lewens tydens behandeling en na hulle genees is raak. Lance vat jou ook op ‘n toer deur die Currie Beker finaal van fietsry, die Tour de France. Woorde soos slip streaming, lactate acid, bonking en le peleton gaan jy sommer vinnig bemeester.
Die boek is ‘n inspirasie vir almal en sal jou so boei dat jy dit nie gaan neersit nie.

Lance is the man!Reviewed by Christelle Botha from Pretoria on 25 July 2003
778 of 1588 people found the following review helpful:
Ek het hierdie boek op vakansie gelees - bietjie van die man en die boek voorheen gehoor, maar my nie juis gesteur nie. Maar toe ek die blaaie oopslaan was ek ge"hook"! Lance Armstrong is 'n inspirasie en rolmodel vir die manier waarop hy kanker takel het, en opposisie in die TdF vernietig. Dit lees maklik, gee 'n kykie agter die skerms, en het my gemaak wens daar kom 'n opvolg. Die is nou op pad en is reeds op my wenslys!
