it takes arrogance to beat cancer and it takes humility and heart to stand up for everyone who has had to take on this battle. it's easy for people to bury their heads in the sand..thank you for putting it out there. you are a true winner.
People like Lance are a BIG inspiration im only 15 and I love watching his commercials they make me wanna do better and having a look at this commercial makes me wanna run across Canada, he opened up my eyes to something i didnt see before Lance Armstrong best athlete ever.
People forget that this guy is the real deal. His doping gave him 10%. He still beats everyone else without it. The guy still can keep up with pros in the pack. He's 50. Absolute phenom. once in a century genetics.
+Diogo Simões A scapegoat, maybe. I'm sure there were others running some of the same type of doping programs he did. But the way he tried to destroy people's lives and the lack of remorse he still shows about it, is inexcusable. But as far as I'm concerned he still was the best rider of the Tour de France 7 times over. It was a tainted 7 times, but everyone was doping. And I don't give a shit about doping. The only reason it affects the "legacy" of athletes is because its against the rules, meaning if one is doing it and the others aren't, there is an unfair advantage required. But if everyone had that unfair advantage of blood doping, isn't he still the best, even if its among the doped?
Inspiration when watching the others be driven, really don't care for lance armstrong. Every single time I go for a run, this music and the image of these people struggling with the pain and suffering they are dealing with but never give up keeps me going. They are the real inspiration.
You've captured my emotions about Lance perfectly. After all, he rose from a deathbed to compete and complete the world's toughest athletic event 10 times. Then started a foundation that raised a half billion dollars to fight cancer. I certainly don't condone what he did - but there is more than a little inspiration and goodness in the man ...
Practicing strengh of our will, as well as ridding a bike, we learn how to re-start and attend our wishes. Fantastic. I love it. Very well done! Thanks
Extremely inspirational, Lance Armstrong is one of my idols... He teaches you not to give up, there's people at home sitting on their ass that decide to do something like go for a run and give up easily, then never try it again. Lance didn't give up when he was on the verge of death, so why should you give up on running?
Lance you know how to drive'em...My aunt had cancer and I kept telling her that she had the Lance Armstrong drive and she made it with flying colors...way to motivate!!!
Lance is right, he's not back on his bike for the critics and naysayers, in life who really cares what they have to say, he's probably not even back on his bike to win, he's back on his bike for the millions that struggle to fight cancer everyday and look to him as their hero and inspiration, and he'll never let them down
Its videos like this that show people that you can do anything. one day you could be crawling on your knees and the next day you can win the most epic race ever! Livestrong everyone!
Lance Armstrong is an inspiration, period. If you want to cry about how he took steroids then your just another person that THIS commercial was made for and it only makes the message that much stronger.
hey everybody who love lance, well i am from India and here cycling is not popular at all but millions of Indians like me believe that lance is innocent, a true legend and inspiration for many. I am a brainstroke survivor and i know how it feels to see youself as a patient laying in hospital bed. Lance has been framed as doper by some real losers. Even if he doped i don't think that doping alone can bring determination of winning. Love you Lance and don't give up your fight.
tippyojay. You are correct, whats the matter with the muppets who think lance is a doper. Stop hating and realise what an inspiration he is!!!!!!! He doesnt need 2 take any thing with the determination he has
This commercial is so good. Lance is an incredible athlete...maybe the best after you consider what he has overcome. People call him a doper b/c cancer patients are put on "steroids" to help rebuild the body from the treatments. So...people that call him that should really look into cancer a little more.
skrew you, lance was good from the begginging, he used to ride and run marathons and was beating fully grown adults when he was a mere 15 year old, it shows that he is a born athlete. jordan was born for basketball, gretzky for hockey, pele for footy, and armstrong for cycling.
The one thing I will give him, was that he created a charity to help cancer patients. Whether he cheated or not, he did change some people's lives for the better
Matko: Hope this helps. Heres what he says: "The critics say I'm arrogant. A doper. Washed up. A fraud. That I couldn't let it go. They could say whatever they want. I'm not back on my bike for them." This is a very powerful well-done commercial. I don't often get moved by a commercial. I was moved by this one.
Everybody that thinks lance is taking stuff to ride better is just a BIG EXCUSE because they can't win. Work harder if you want to be the best! Just like Jordan, Gretzky, etc........ these players like Armstrong had God given Talent to be the best at what they do.
I'm a Lance supporter all the way mate!! I think maybe I didn't understand your post .....oh well nevermind!! I just think there is more to this than meets the eye - and that Lance I think has been stitched up.
Those fucks don’t even know what cycling is and how human’s body works. No one can do 7 Watts per kilo for 30 minutes without performance enhancing drugs. But they sofa warriors never blame Pantani, Ullrich, Basso…
I heard someone said a true goes beyond the fact,beyond the logic. whoever is lying the true will flow up in the end and I believe the true comes from lance.the true doesn't speak to the ears but to the hearth and I truly believe lance has his hand clean.
Funny how no one questions Lemond, Armstrongs greatest critic, who one 3 tours in dopings golden age. So ironic. Lance may have been a doper, but his example of will power, can still be used and admired by all of us. Besides - he won his Tours as "primus inter pares" or "first among equals".
Whether or not you are a Lance fan, or a cycling fan for that matter. Lance has done so much more than just be a cyclist. He is a true survivor, an inspiration and a philanthropist. Cycling is just sport, Lance has risen above being a champion sportsmen. He is champion human being.
He gave them the respect they gave him... I hate to quote kid rock (or admit I know any lyrics to his songs), but it ain't braggin' when you back it up.
Sounds like someone's from Spain and is upset because an American has owned house. Don't be hating because he decides to train for one event. He made history man, grow up. He's an inspiration for all people with cancer. And he has raised a lot of money for the cause. Steroids? If you call chemo, the stuff that turns your veins black, a steroid then yes he would have tested positive. Man GROW UP
Whats most sad about this advert is that it reminds you of the people who seen Armstrong as a role model especially those battling to come back from cancer and now he has just been exposed as a fraud and someone who lied his way through the majority of his life. Very sad indeed.
@musicNsoccer He's not a disgrace to many people, he was under the influence of Erythropoietin in 2001 and as you probably don't know it helps your body produce healthy blood cells. Now if you also take into account Lance had Cancer, EPO is used to help that. Now "they" did teach me the difference between right and wrong. Lance was one of them, he taught me to learn from mistakes. Now here you are judging a man who has been beaten down by people like you but guess what? Thats not stopping him.
HUNDREDS? Are you sure buddy? That is a smart statement. Plus odds are YOUR favorite player has doped too. The fact remains over 50% of ALL althletes at pro level have doped or currently dope
It's not just for wannabe athletes....But conquerors of disabling circumstances. To strive to be active and achieve In All Things. I only have one life, I cannot will not give up.
He still busted his ass and he still trained like hell... Anyone that thinks you can just take drugs or steroids and magically are God like is an idiot. They HELP, but you still have to put the time and and train like mad! -N
That's true. They're athletes who train phenomenal hard to reach their physical peaks, however as soon as someone uses performance enhancing drugs they're cheating and will get an edge on someone who's trained just as hard. Peace
Exactly... Who the fuck cars if these athletes do drugs. Should be one's choice if they do or do not want to take the risks. It's no different from someone having fantastic genes compared to someone that has just OK genes... is it not a fair playing field since one is potentially more gifted?
@@NewShockerGuy they didn't put the genes into their own body though. All those cyclists put those substances in their body. Some of them coerced but still. I don't have any sympathy for lance or anyone who got busted. They knew the rules and knew they were breaking them. The problem i have is that a lot of people running the organizations such as the aso and uci weren't brought to justice. They knew lance was doping and tried to cover it up. I don't care if athletes dope. But if the rules say don't and you do it w/o fighting the rule first, i can't garner much sympathy. Plus lance was a terrible human being to some people trying to destroy their careers and bully them. I will say this though. Anyone who thinks lance didn't train hard are moronic. Go ride just one of those French alps and see how easy it is.
@@hellohell77 for sure..agree with ya. I have no sympathy for anyone knowingly breaking rules our doing wrong then gets caught. That's the chance you take. To single out one person saying he was the root of cheating is bull shit. They all made money... the whole organization is corrupt to a level.
Still slaps tbh
still get goosebumps everytime i hear this song, mogwai is effin amazing. so much intensity
it takes arrogance to beat cancer and it takes humility and heart to stand up for everyone who has had to take on this battle. it's easy for people to bury their heads in the sand..thank you for putting it out there. you are a true winner.
one of the greatest ads ever
One of the best commercial I have seen, very inspiring, 09 Tour de France watch out!!
People like Lance are a BIG inspiration im only 15 and I love watching his commercials they make me wanna do better and having a look at this commercial makes me wanna run across Canada, he opened up my eyes to something i didnt see before Lance Armstrong best athlete ever.
Comment did not age well :/
@@iwontreplybacklol7481 Neither did I.
The USADA will never motivate a child to fight through the pain and maintain a will to survive. Lance does every single day.
People forget that this guy is the real deal. His doping gave him 10%. He still beats everyone else without it.
The guy still can keep up with pros in the pack. He's 50. Absolute phenom. once in a century genetics.
His brand raised over 500 million dollars for cancer research, enough said.
could have raised more and keeping raising more if he hadn't lied and cheat.
Trump 2016 no he could not.
Everyone was using drugs on the sport, but he was the scape goat! A true legend, no one beats a cancer like him, respect the man and his legacy!
+Diogo Simões A scapegoat, maybe. I'm sure there were others running some of the same type of doping programs he did.

But if everyone had that unfair advantage of blood doping, isn't he still the best, even if its among the doped?
+Manny Cartagena So by your logic he was the best because he doped the best and those that didn't dope were not as good.
Thats one fucked up logic!
+Diogo Simões Prove it!
Not all are as shit as the yanks who feel the need to cheat at every fucking opportunity.
Yep, us Yanks are the only cheaters. I'm going to say if it wasn't for us Yanks, your fucking ass would be speaking German wouldn't it?
Why don't you do another video on how to hack into something.... That pretty much sums your sorry ass up don't it?
This commercial gets me pumped - best commercial I've seen since the Adidas House Party. Wow. Go Lance.
Inspiration when watching the others be driven, really don't care for lance armstrong. Every single time I go for a run, this music and the image of these people struggling with the pain and suffering they are dealing with but never give up keeps me going. They are the real inspiration.

Thanks
In a strange mythological way I wish they didn't catch Armstrong it was such an inspiring story until they did...
MotoMatt lol lance would never win a GT if all were clean. he lacks the physiology
This is how I feel but still an inspiration to me to be honest

class! the man is a complete legend. i think he should have been one of the Xmen. train hard, eat right, live with love and a full heart and enjoy!
Lance Armstrong is an inspiration, period. If you want to cry about how he took steroids then your just another person that THIS commercial was made for and it only makes the message that much stronger.
Jaaaaa...still loving my Nike+ 😇😇😇!!
I was never really into cycling but I feel very disappointed, Lance Armstrong was synonymous of greatness that inspired millions of people.
i know im prbly just one of a million people who almost cried watching this but all i have to say is damn...never seen a video this powerful
Hey news flash, He won the Tour from 1999-2005. No one else. Lance=winner.
One of the best Nike commercials ever
hey everybody who love lance, well i am from India and here cycling is not popular at all but millions of Indians like me believe that lance is innocent, a true legend and inspiration for many. I am a brainstroke survivor and i know how it feels to see youself as a patient laying in hospital bed. Lance has been framed as doper by some real losers. Even if he doped i don't think that doping alone can bring determination of winning. Love you Lance and don't give up your fight.
if you're asking what the song is, it's Autorock by Mogwai.
thank you Lance to help this people
Whoever directed this is amazing and should definitely give me a call for future projects.( I am serious)
The amazing woman in the first 2 shots will always be my hero!
Average human cluld use all the PEDS, and EPO they want still wouldn't touch him in a race...
true dat
Ah okay sweet, I love this song, its really awesome. I wanna say it was in a Top Gear episode a season back or two.
tippyojay. You are correct, whats the matter with the muppets who think lance is a doper. Stop hating and realise what an inspiration he is!!!!!!! He doesnt need 2 take any thing with the determination he has

This is a very powerful well-done commercial.
I don't often get moved by a commercial.
I was moved by this one.
Everybody that thinks lance is taking stuff to ride better is just a BIG EXCUSE because they can't win. Work harder if you want to be the best! Just like Jordan, Gretzky, etc........ these players like Armstrong had God given Talent to be the best at what they do.
You are right. It was in the America trip at the end of the episode, its Mogwai - Auto Rock
Lance is in a class of his own. He is the best and people just cant accept it.
I'm a Lance supporter all the way mate!! I think maybe I didn't understand your post .....oh well nevermind!! I just think there is more to this than meets the eye - and that Lance I think has been stitched up.
If he was "cheating", then anyone else doing the same could have won 7 Tour de France titles, too. Right?
Those fucks don’t even know what cycling is and how human’s body works. No one can do 7 Watts per kilo for 30 minutes without performance enhancing drugs. But they sofa warriors never blame Pantani, Ullrich, Basso…
His body responded particularly well to the changes brought about by the banned drugs he took, so no.
Watch this every morning and you will be a champion!
I heard someone said a true goes beyond the fact,beyond the logic. whoever is lying the true will flow up in the end and I believe the true comes from lance.the true doesn't speak to the ears but to the hearth and I truly believe lance has his hand clean.

Besides - he won his Tours as "primus inter pares" or "first among equals".
That last part where the guy can finally run on his own.. KILSSS ME!
Perhaps his drive to beat cancer was the same drive that drove him to win by any means necessary
Whether or not you are a Lance fan, or a cycling fan for that matter. Lance has done so much more than just be a cyclist. He is a true survivor, an inspiration and a philanthropist. Cycling is just sport, Lance has risen above being a champion sportsmen. He is champion human being.
Song is 'Auto Rock' by Mogwai
He gave them the respect they gave him... I hate to quote kid rock (or admit I know any lyrics to his songs), but it ain't braggin' when you back it up.
Rock On Lance! I Love what you stand for!
Cheating? That’s what you love?
Sounds like someone's from Spain and is upset because an American has owned house. Don't be hating because he decides to train for one event. He made history man, grow up. He's an inspiration for all people with cancer. And he has raised a lot of money for the cause. Steroids? If you call chemo, the stuff that turns your veins black, a steroid then yes he would have tested positive. Man GROW UP
wow! you need to write that done on paper somewhere and submit it to nike..i miss these commercials
Whats most sad about this advert is that it reminds you of the people who seen Armstrong as a role model especially those battling to come back from cancer and now he has just been exposed as a fraud and someone who lied his way through the majority of his life. Very sad indeed.
thank you thanks really appreciate it
and no matter what they say about lance,he is my hero...
Amazing vid! Go Lance!!!
haha, I was waiting for someone to call that out.
good commerical needs to be on TV more
bad ass!
Keep it up Lance. You can do it!
👑💪👑👑LANCE👑👑💪👑
Years later, he STILL can't let it go.
If this doesn't get any emotion out of you, you don't have a heart.
0:20 How right the critics were LOL
PIERCED6966 and just like he said he doesn’t give a fuck.
What sets Lance and other people apart is simple, its his heart and determination.
wow that is what im talkin about lance love u man!!
tiger, federer, jordan, lance. LIVESTRONG!!!!!!

Thought perhaps Michael Mann had directed this with the use of the score from Miami Vice, but I'm not seeing his name mentioned anywhere.
not much of a fan of this type of sport but when i see this chils start to craw up on my back and tears row from my eyes
Thank you!
If all you did for good or bad Lance Armstrong was also served only to motivate a person to heal it would be worth it.
he is a hero
Mogwai's music has a way of doing that to people.
lance armstrong rocks!
something about that intrumental just takes me in
did he really say that? we should have elected another american hero? if so this man is even greater than i already thought
"all kinds of gains" confirmed hodgetiwns subscriber

Great Commercial
He is legendary.
goosebumps.. incredible.
Yo the song in the background is the same as the one in madden 13 intro w/ ray lewis!
you spoke for millions who think the same.lance rules
this commercial makes me feel invincible for some reason
gives me chills
Kathy Lemond - there's an unbiased source if I ever heard one ... lol!
i cant call a cancer survivor "a loser"..
can you post a shout-out to what music is playing, because, that commercial wouldnt be nothing without it.
Amazing, he's simply amazing ..
whoa - well said mate!!!
Auto Rock - Mogwai :)
hey vhklholdings, nice vid
btw, great picture (I have the exact same kicks)
read it and its pretty astonishing stuff
Lance Armstrong, comeback 3.0.
One minute you are supporting Lance A., the next you are against him!! Make your mind up!
