I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.

Cycling is open to the whole world.

I'm more optimistic about cycling right now than I've ever been.

I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it's not going to be satisfying.

I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to give up cycling because some people are cheating.

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

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

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.

As a kid growing up - I can see now - it didn't matter what I did, as long as it was something I could be really good at. Cycling just happened to be the opportunity that came along.

There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.
