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.
The most important decision I ever made in my career was to live my life in sports as honestly and ethically as possible. Never having compromised my values allows me to look back on my life with no regrets and feel satisfaction in what I was able to accomplish.
There is no pill, no drug, that can do for you what one hour of exercise can.
You don't suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.
There are few things that you can't do as long as you are willing to apply yourself.
If Lance is clean, it is the greatest comeback in the history of sports. If he isn't, it would be the greatest fraud.
I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle, it's not going to be satisfying.
It never gets easier; you just go faster.
