Cycling is open to the whole world.

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

There can be crowd issues everywhere in cycling. But it's a good thing for cycling that it's so accessible for spectators. That's why it's so popular - because fans can get close to the road and the race. But you also have to be aware of the dangers.

In cycling, you just race. When you get to the finish, you see the result.

As a British rider, it's a privilege to be able to compete on home roads. The British public have really taken to cycling, and you can see that when the race goes through different towns: the community really gets behind it.

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.

I have the impression that cycling is no longer a game but rather an employment... a job.

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.

It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.

Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you're working on.
