The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE????

If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.

I have never doped … I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.

I didn't live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.
