hurt giving-up dont-give-up
Often the best guys are just those that can suffer longer, who don't give up. And it's so easy to give up, when you're on a mountain and it's really hurting. We go through a lot physically.
goodbye kissing long
I'll go [racing] until my body won't let me any more. Someone said to me: "The day you stop, you won't be able to get back on the same way as when you did as a pro." I want to delay that kiss goodbye as long as possible.
sports stupid thinking
Cycling is such a stupid sport. Next time you are in a car travelling at 40mph think about jumping out - naked. That's what it's like when we crash.
loser given riders
I was awarded 'Most Aggressive Rider of the Day', generally given to the most spectacular loser of the day.
mistake opportunity thinking
People do make mistakes and I think they should be punished. But they should be forgiven and given the opportunity for a second chance. We are human beings.
hands lucky
I like my hands. Which is lucky as I have to spend all day looking at them on the handlebars.
