Losing And Dying: It's The Same Thing.

I Didn't Live A Lot Of Lies, But I Lived One Big One.

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

When You Know Your Not Going To Die, You Have To Ask Yourself... What's The Highest And Best Use For Myself.

There Were No Shortcuts, I Realized. It Took Years Of Racing To Build Up The Mind And Body And Character Until A Rider Had Logged Hundreds Of Races And Thousands Of Miles Of Road. I Wouldn't Be Able To Win A Tour De France Until I Had Enough Iron In My Legs, And Lungs, And Brain And Heart.

I've Read That I Flew Up The Hills And Mountains Of France. But You Don't Fly Up A Hill. You Struggle Slowly And Painfully Up A Hill, And Maybe, If You Work Very Hard, You Get To The Top Ahead Of Everybody Else.
