1992 Barcelona Olympics (120.5 mile)road race, no energy to charge, fourteenth
Then turn professional, allow him collect prize money in international events
Coach Jim Ochwicz, signed Lance to ride for a cycling team sponsored by Motorola.
First race as a pro: 1992 Spain, a one-day race (one of ten in cycling’s World Cup series ) battered by cold winds, heavy rains, conditions he was used to from his days in Texas, couldn’t keep pace with the peloton, last of 111 finishers. His confidence was as low as it had ever been, quit the sport, maybe it was not right for him, maybe the competition at the professional level was just too tough.
Luckily, his friend Chris talked him out of quitting, told him to learn from his failure and become a better cyclist because of it. He agreed to keep trying and got second-place in the championship of Zurich in Switzerland. This proved that he belonged in the professional ranks. The finish was a much-needed boost to the young cyclist’s confidence.
