It Never Gets Easier; You Just Go

It Is Cycling As A Professional Sport That Represents The Problem. It Can Transform Someone Into A Liar.

Perhaps The Single Most Important Element In Mastering The Techniques And Tactics Of Racing Is Experience. But Once You Have The Fundamentals, Acquiring The Experience Is A Matter Of Time.

It Doesn't Get Any Easier; You Just Get Faster.

I'm More Optimistic About Cycling Right Now Than I've Ever Been.

I Wanted To Be Seen As A Good Person, And Never Wanted To Let People Down, But I Found It Hard To Handle The Fame Or Adulation. I Didn't Feel Worthy Of It. I Was Ashamed By Who I Thought I Was Because I Felt Partly Responsible [for The Abuse] And I Was Never Able To Enjoy The Stuff I Should Have Been Able To Enjoy. My First Thought When I Won The Tour Was: 'my God, I'm Going To Be Famous', And Then I Thought, 'he's Going To Call'. I Was Always Waiting For That Phone Call. I Lived In Fear That Anyone Would Ever Find Out.
