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.

Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully.

Pain and loss are great enhancers.

Chasing records doesn't keep me on my bike. Happiness does.
