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.
Anytime you ride against the best in the world, it becomes a learning process.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.
If the players understand and accept that their leader is steering their direction through thoughtful, careful measures, then they will pull together to give the best effort every time.
While working as a team, you push yourself forward and move outside the boundaries. It's a great thing.
If you do have a team where every rider has a huge list of results, that means everybody wants to do the race for themselves. The strongest team in the Tour is not the strongest team on paper.
When you're riding, only the race in which you're riding is important.
I think our dad and our mom have always told us that in racing we're a team, and we work together, and that's how it's always been, and I think that's how it's always going to be.
In sport you always think the strongest guy should be going for it and getting the best results. The thing is, cycling also has a very important team aspect, which I don't think that a lot of people fully grasp.
Sooner or later a rider will emerge who will win more Tours. In every sport we have seen how the records eventually get broken and cycling is no exception.
