Catalogue Note

Armstrong quickly rose to fame in the early 2000’s, and made friends with celebrities such as Ben Stiller and Matthew McConaughey.  His friendship with Williams was particularly strong because the two were able to bond over their love of cycling—in fact, Williams even rode with Armstrong during an off day at the 2002 Tour de France.  In an article for USA Today, Mike Foss noted: "The only thing that stuck closer to Lance Armstrong during his seven Tour de France victories than his yellow jerseys was Robin Williams."
