accept cycling easy floyd follow science stronger strongest tried work
It is always easy to look back and say I could have done this or that. It does not work that way. Cycling is not a science you try to be the strongest on the road. We tried to follow the plan, and Floyd was stronger than we expected, and we have to accept that. We have no regrets.

So it's not a surprise. We're used to it.
