If you're not at the front, you're not in the race.

Survival is the main objective. There are going to be some awful days, I know that from my background in the sport.

I'll go [racing] until my body won't let me any more. Someone said to me: "The day you stop, you won't be able to get back on the same way as when you did as a pro." I want to delay that kiss goodbye as long as possible.

I've been proud to be national champion.

But human nature dictates that there will always be cheaters. That's inevitable. Where there's money involved and glory, there are going to be people that cheat, and there will always be ways to cheat.

The first time I rode a bike I was four or five. I crashed into the back of a car.

There will always be cheaters. It is human nature. It will never be 100 percent clean, in any sport.
