Holy "Lance Armstrong"!

Desi Fun(da)
Well its Lance Armstrong time of the year again. This guy is simply awesome. A true sportsman who is just the perfect role model for us youngsters. If you dont know about him already I would like to notify you that it is the year 2005 A.D. and you have been comatose atleast since 1998. So just to update you the Tour de France is still the world's most gruelling sports event not just in cycling but in any sport, in my opinion. And after Miguel Indurien who I used to adore Lance Armstrong has gone over and succeeded him ably having won the title 7 times in a row. A guy who was diagnosed with testicular cancer a long while ago has fought against the odds and gone ahead and shown the world what a sportsman is supposed to be like. I dont wanna say too much just what he said after winning the race.
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."
Again this is the first time that the winner was allowed to speak after winning the Tour de France. A deserving honor for the retiring champion. Kudos, Thanks and God Speed Lance Armstrong!
