Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. 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???? I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure I did it for the pain.

Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.
Lance Armstrong

It's ironic, I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride.

It's tougher for me. But I don't think that's imperative to me starting a new movement, or revive an old movement, to help people.

Nineteen hundred meters up there is completely different from1,900 any place else. There's no air, there's no oxygen. There's no vegetation, there's no life. There's no life. Rocks. Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.

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.

One of the redeeming things about being an athlete is redefining what is humanly possible.
