I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.

Everything that's going on within the peloton - there's about ten different races going on. There is also a survival element to it - I love the fact that it's so epic. You crash on a bike, the first thing you do is try and get back up on it. No whinging!

I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it's not going to be satisfying.

Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

I know the freedom that cycling gives you in terms of being able to just jump on and go.

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.

The run's the business end of a triathlon: it's where you win or lose the race. I like to get out very hard, make other people hurt sometimes, and other times leave it to the last kilometre and really win the race there.

Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.

The competition in today's world of racing is so tough.
