I've accomplished more working on my own than I ever did as part of a team.

Like a lot of people, I have been a leader in some things, and I've been a follower in some things. I know how to work on a team. And most of life, frankly, to get things done you have to get done, you've got to work as a team.

I work through teams. It's the only way I know how to work.

I've got an opportunity that not many people have - to be the leader of Team Sky as I enter the prime years of my career.

While working as a team, you push yourself forward and move outside the boundaries. It's a great thing.

I like being part of a team.

I've got a great team around me with my family, manager and label, and we've all worked hard together to make things happen.

I hope I'm building a record of being a good team player and not just standing for my principles but being willing to work for them. I think when you do that and you work really hard, people take notice.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.
