[Soledad O'brien, Anchor:] Lance Armstrong is riding high this morning as only the second cyclist to win the grueling Tour de France five years in a row. This year's win was Armstrong's toughest by far. He faced accidents, illness, and the unexpectedly tough competition. But what might mean the most? He's the only cancer survivor to win the tour. And earlier this morning he spoke out for other survivors.
[Lance Armstrong, Tour De France Winner:] It's been a very difficult three weeks, of course. But somehow along the way you have these problems, and you always look back to 1996 and you realize that a crash on Louzer de Dain or a little cycle crossing the gap is not nearly as bad as sitting in a hospital room in Indianapolis, Indiana. And so, drawing on that experience helps, and perhaps is one of the secrets to winning the tour. Thank you for being here. And thank you to my fellow cancer survivors.
[O'brien:] Armstrong says that this year's narrow margin of victory was unacceptable. And he's going for a record-breaking six straight tour victory next year.
