Even though people involved in racing think that it has a big sporting stage, it is a minority sport compared to some of the other high-profile events: football, Formula One or golf.

Racing is a great sport, but we need people to come along and see that for themselves. Maybe they're not used to going racing or haven't been before, but I think people get a taste for it; they do come back.

If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.

I enjoy racing because I want to do it. No one's forcing me.

I love racing and I love doing well.

Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.

Racing amuses me.

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.

My focus is definitely on the racing.
