i simply posted the picture, didn't indicate who the offensive onlookers might be "I expected the conflict between Bush and Chirac to trickle down to The Tour. I mean, not only am I an American, but I'm from Texas and I've spent enough time with the president for people to refer to us as friends...but you know what? The fans were great last year, better than ever" (from outside magazine) obviously some attitudes have deteriorated considerably since then... one of the things i admire about him so much is his ability to cut through the extraneous, the barbs, the innuendo (about his "doping"), those who spit on him as he perseveres are just part of the price that a true champion pays... he has his personal goals, but they aren't the end all or be all of his life... (he has much more going on in his life which defines his reality) from the same article... Did you ever imagine that you'd be in the position you're in now? Five and one go grow on? ARMSTRONG: No. After te first one, I thought that could be the only one...And after the second one. After winning three, I realized maybe I could continue. outside: When you're training, do you consciously think about number six? ARMSTRONG: I try not to think about that, but obviously I get reminded of it daily. There's even days where i get reminded about winning number seven! I'm like...Wait a minute! It's a little too much pressure to think about a grand total, especially a grand total that's never been done before. outside: How do you want to be remembered? ARMSTRONG: Quite honestly I don't care about a long-term legacy. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just that I think it would be incredibly arrogant to walk through my day thinking about it . Thats not why I get up every morning. outside: Why do you , then? ARMSTRONG: To train hard and win another bike race. If in 50 years they name a street after me or a build me a statue, that's fine. But quite honestly, I live for these days, now (emphasis mine)
