Everyone in the world of cycling knows how much it is a team sport as well as individual. It's just amazing to be a part of.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
Cycling is a part of my life; it always has been, and I will always continue to cycle. I won't be doing it on the world stage, doing it competitively, but I'll still be out on the weekend with the masses riding around Richmond Park in my Team Sky jersey or whatever. I just love it.
When I first started out in cycling, if there were two girls there, that was successful; but now, if there are 20 girls there, it's just unbelievable. The growth of the sport is just incredible.
Cycling is open to the whole world.
Cycling was the sport of our family - we did it all the time, five days a week.
It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.
Cycling as a whole is totally underestimated.
It's really important for cycling and for women to be on a sporting stage which is in the mainstream and across the board, not just my own sport.
The more time I was spending with the British team, the more of a laugh I was having with them. It's clean, their way of cycling; it's more about what you can produce as an athlete.
Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class - the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.
