smithereens. Although devastated by news of his cancer, his life

gotten Discovery Channel to stand behind him. The Pace Line is a

Armstrong, AMD and a host of other corporate sponsors. The
website delivers news about racing, general news about the
sports, lets members download wallpapers, screensavers, and
inspiring photos of recent races.
