In cycling, you just race. When you get to the finish, you see the result.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
Cycling is a sport of the open road and spectators are lining that road.
Whatever I won in cycling, I won with my own skills. I never won anything I couldn't win. For example, I never won a time trial at 60 kph, whereas others have and maybe still do.
I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.
When you're riding, only the race in which you're riding is important.
There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.
I think racing and riding are two different elements of cycling. You either want to or not depending on what you want to get out of 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 always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.
