The riskiest thing you can do is get greedy.

When I made the decision - when my team-mates made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision - it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. But it happened.

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????

Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.
Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong
It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.
Lance Armstrong
I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture.
