One of the greatest champions in the history of cycling, Lance Armstrong does not want to be remembered as a champion cyclist but as good father.

The seven time Tour de France champion was recently on a visit to Canada to promote his Livestrong line of fitness equipments at the local outlet of Canadian Tire and speaking to Marci Len of Canada AM, Armstrong said that although he is still very much committed to keeping his fitness up and fighting to eradicate cancer, he wants to cement his legacy by being the greatest dad that his five kids could ever ask for.

Wiggins finished in 10th place, 11 seconds behind the Spaniard.

The win is a massive boost to the Londoner ahead of the Tour de France, which begins on 2 July.

A century ago, a young entrepreneur may have started on the road to fortune by getting on a bicycle and ended it in a luxury car. Today, with the rise of designer bikes, the opposite could be true. British millionaire and TV personality Alan Sugar set the trend several years ago when he bought a £7,000 "Prince of Spain" racing bicycle, named after Spanish champion Alejandro Valverde, from Italy's Pinarello (pinarello.com).
