We sped on, across the plains, toward Metz. I hung back, saving myself. It is called the Race of Truth. The early stages separate the strong riders from the weak. Now the weak would be eliminated altogether.

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.

I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.

Hope that is the only antidote to fear.

So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.

I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture.

When you know your not going to die, you have to ask yourself... What's the highest and best use for myself.

I may be in timeout forever. But I hope not to be.

The answer is hard work. What are you doing on Christmas Eve? Are you riding your bike? January 1st - are you riding your bike?

Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.

If you go to Wikipedia and you look at the Tour de France, there's this huge block in World War One with no winners, and there's another block in World War Two. And then it seems like there's another world war.

Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.
