Catalogue Note

Limited edition 43 of 50. Cycling was a central element of Williams' life, and his love of the Tour de France is well documented. Lance Armstrong—at one time a personal friend of Williams'— chose Landis to ride alongside him in three consecutive Tours de France. Landis was often the teammate who pushed the pace through the mountains mountain climes, breaking the pack in order to allow Armstrong to make his final move toward securing victory.  This led Williams to nickname Landis the "Mofo of the Mountains".
