Cycling has never felt like a job. To get paid for something that you absolutely love is amazing. I don't feel like I work. I just do it because I love it and I get paid to do it. I just think: 'What an easy way to earn a living.'

Cycling is open to the whole world.

Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you're working on.

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

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.

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

Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.

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

Cycling as a whole is totally underestimated.
