#2 Sports Illustrated put out a nice commemorative issue detailing Lance's career. At one point they describe him donning a tshirt with the slogan: "Texas is bigger'n France."

As it was (though his domestic fans may not know this) he quietly opposed the war being waged by his friend and fellow Texan, President Bush. ''It's wrong," Armstrong said, ''to go to the front without the support of Europe."
