Robin Williams Encouraged Armstrong

Actor Robin Williams encouraged cyclist Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France.

According to Starpulse.com, actor Robin Williams attended the ninth stage of the Tour de France, in Saint-Gaudens, Tarbes, to support his good friend, cyclist Lance Armstrong, in seeking an eighth championship title.

"He’s a great friend and it’s great to hang out with him. It’s wild to see him back on the Tour," said the 57-year-old star. Williams added, "You’d think after seven wins he’d think ‘c’est fini’, but no, he is back for one more time. That is pretty ballsy. To race the Giro d’Italia and the Tour of California already this year, it’s kind of great and he is doing it for many reasons which is wonderful to see."

Williams was not the only celebrity to come and cheer on Lance Armstrong. Last week, Ben Stiller was in Marseille for the same reason.
