Madonna wears all white for an intense bike ride whilst daughter Lourdes enjoys a casual stroll in the Côte d'Azur

Among many things Madonna is notorious for her passion for fitness, so much so that she even has to exercise on holiday.

This is that my Grandma?

Madonna was spotted on a cycle ride through the streets of Cote d'Azur, South of France, whilst her daughter Lourdes,16, was taking a stroll with her friend along the Mediterranean coastline.
In fact the whole family are currently in the French Riviera and are celebrating Rocco's birthday on Sunday whilst Madonna's is in a few day's time, on August 16.

Actor Ben Foster looks set to play Lance Armstrong in a biopic of the disgraced cyclist, which will be directed by Stephen Frears, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Written by regular Danny Boyle collaborator John Hodge, the film would cover the period from Armstrong's testicular cancer diagnosis in the mid-1990s to the revelations over his use of performance-enhancing drugs. Foster, a celebrated supporting actor in films such as 3:10 to Yuma, Alphadog and recent Sundance smash Ain't Them Bodies Saints, will step up to a rare lead role if his current negotiations prove fruitful.
