Synopsis

Disc 1. Lance Armstrong '7 in a Row' 

1 x 150:00 min

In 1996 Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer that spread to all parts of his body and from which he was given as little as 3% chance of recovery. His true comeback came three years later when he won his first Tour de France. The fact that he went on to win six more, in a row, stands him apart from any other athlete that has ever lived. This official programme chronicles every one of his seven Tour de France victories, a feat never likely to be repeated.

Disc 2. The Science of Lance Armstrong

 

1 x 46:00 min

 

The Science of Lance Armstrong is a fascinating look at the many behind the scenes efforts that play a crucial role in Lance Armstrong's successes. In a race such as the Tour de France secondds count, indeed a mere second could be the difference between winning and losing. Thus if new technological advancements can shave as little as a second off Lance's racing time, it's worth doing.

Disc 3. Lance Armstrong - The Man Behind the Legend

1 x 47:00 min

Lance Armstrong became famous as an American athlete in a sport dominated by Europeans. But it was his highly publicised battle with cancer that made him a hero. BIOGRAPHY follows the brash Texan from his angry childhood to his record breaking sixth consecutive Tour de France victory in 2004, victories that were shared with canceer victims and survivors worldwide.

In probing interviews, Lance talks about how he fought the disease, while his mother, friends, teammates and rivals offer intimate insights into his personality, both on the race course and off it. Interspersed with footage of his greatest victories, this is a moving portrait of an athlete who has fought back from the brink to transcend his sport.
