I saw this a year or two ago, long before it held any kind of personal significance for me. It popped into my mind today, so I spent a few minutes digging it up. Watching it again was moving for me, especially now that I know it's really hard to bravely declare "I'll beat this disease" in the face of terrifying odds.
What an amazing man. He certainly aimed higher than I am: while I am just as determined to beat cancer as he, I make no claims about returning to professional cycling when I'm done.

Max, you are aiming too low. I think you could be a professional cyclist, you are already a mathmagician, what's a few hundred thousand miles of training? I think you could deal with the numbers. Live Strong.
