A typical day for me on tour is a marathon - it's like five days rolled into one.

Also, for a team as strong as like ours, the Tour will always remain the biggest goal of the whole year, and personally I will certainly concentrate most of my energy on this race.

When you get into the final week of the Tour de France, it becomes a different kind of race. As the distance and the fatigue really tell, that is when it becomes a proper test of everyone's fitness.

Doing 40-minute track sessions is easy money compared to what we were doing on the Tour. What you used to think was hard now feels like a walk in the park.

I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.

The format of the race weekend is also very well thought out. We have enough practice time to get the cars well set-up and have a proper qualifying session where we can do as many laps as we like, which is great for the drivers and spectators.

I think 'Amazing Race' is sometimes like being on tour.

I've always thought that travelling every day as a journalist on the Tour's got to be harder than actually racing.

I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.
