Hope That Is The Only Antidote To

That Was My Decision, So I Have To Be Responsible For That. It Was One Of The Biggest Mistakes Of My Life And I Don't Have A Good Reason For Why I Wanted To Come Back, I Don't Have A Good Reason For Doing It All.

I Want To Die At A Hundred Years Old With An American Flag On My Back And The Star Of Texas On My Helmet, After Screaming Down An Alpine Descent On A Bicycle At 75 Miles Per Hour. I Want To Cross One Last Finish Line As My Wife And My Ten Children Applaud, And Then I Want To Lie Down In A Field Of Those Famous French Sunflowers And Gracefully Expire, The Perfect Contradiction To My Once Anticipated Poignant Early Demise.

I Guess If I Looked At It From An Athletic Standpoint, I Don't Really Need To Win Another Tour. Seven Tours For Me Was A Dream, Six Broke The Record, So That Eight Doesn't Really Mean Much.

So If There Is A Purpose To The Suffering That Is Cancer, I Think It Must Be This: It's Meant To Improve Us.

My Greatest Point Is My Persistence... However Down I Am, I Fight Until The Last Ball.
