I know I'll never feel that sensation of racing and winning again and that took a while to get used to. The Tour was a race I never thought I could lose.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once in a great while I miss the racing, the feeling of winning. That rush. That adrenaline.
When I was young, I would go to the races and it was an unbelievable feeling when you'd watch them race.
I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.
Racing is the only time I feel whole.
I didn't like doing team presentations at races, being introduced as the winner of the Tour. I felt quite embarrassed by it.
I still look back and think, 'How did I win the Tour, going day to day under that pressure?'
I've always had a fascination with cars and racing, not that I've ever competed.
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
It was a pretty wild ride. The race wasn't bad, but qualifying would take your breath.
The first win came very quick, and I didn't know what it meant to win a major championship. I was a teenager, I was very young. I didn't know what I was doing. I just needed some time to get settled in on the tour.
