This 2002 silkscreen poster commemorating Lance Armstrong's fourth "Tour de France" victory was commissioned by Giro Sport Design to funds for the Lance Armstrong foundation and USA Cycling. Michael Schwab's design sillouettes Armstrong's black profile against patriotic stripes and features a yellow helmet, a color that suggests both the tour leader's jersey and and foundation's "Livestrong" wristbands.
