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

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

Cycling is such a stupid sport. Next time you are in a car travelling at 40mph think about jumping out - naked. That's what it's like when we crash.

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

I like my hands. Which is lucky as I have to spend all day looking at them on the handlebars.

I've been proud to be national champion.

I'm an accumulation of every single thing I've done, good and bad.
