#4...sounds to me he should have put more effort in his marriage instead of his cycling abilities.....
...how much worth is in gaining the acclaim of the world, and losing your family, children....
...divorce has more than an immediate impact on children.....it's something they struggle with decades to come.
I guess I don't get it.....he has the will & drive to overcome cancer....win races that take not only skill, but perseverance and endurance and planning....
...but fail to put the same effort & drive into saving his marriage.....!

You said it, will and drive, it all depends where you direct those efforts.

Mr Armstrong is not a quitter.
He tried -- she quit!?
Dumb broad has no concept of the value of a covenant before God. Pretty typical of modern American wymyn.

Sadly, this is too common among bicycle racers. I also quit racing because of the shear time drain training incurs. But many people whom I have seen quit did so because their wife or girlfriend were angry or stressed out because their man was gone so often and for such a long time.
I wish this former couple the best, and they have my deepest sympathy their marriage has a flat tire.

You know, there is an outside possibility that SHE wanted a divorce... and he did not... and that he is putting the best face forward on this he can... for the kids.
we just don't know.

I'm glad Martha Washington did not have your attitude or we would all be saying hail to the queen.
When greatness is within your grasp, you should take it and your spouse should be supportive.
