The UCI have to make the decision to put in rules into women's cycling that they have in men's cycling: you know, like a minimum budget to run a women's team and that sort of thing so that it becomes more professional.

The best way for women to get into cycling is to go out in a group, to feel like you're part of it.

I'm excited to see the growth in women's cycling, and I think the Women's Tour has had a really positive impact on that change.

Women's sport helps break down a lot of barriers for women in other areas, whether in religion or politics.

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.

I believe that athletes - especially female athletes in the world's leading sport for women - should serve as role models.

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.

Tennis is definitely a star for women in sports.

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

It's something that can get overwhelming and frustrating, the sexism I experience in my career. It's just obviously a big issue in women's sport, like salaries, media coverage, just general things that you have to cope with in your career.
