Testing, we will never do enough of it.

There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.

The most important decision I ever made in my career was to live my life in sports as honestly and ethically as possible. Never having compromised my values allows me to look back on my life with no regrets and feel satisfaction in what I was able to accomplish.

Perhaps the single most important element in mastering the techniques and tactics of racing is experience. But once you have the fundamentals, acquiring the experience is a matter of time.

You don't suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.

It never gets easier; you just go faster.

Sincere apologies are for those that make them, not for those to whom they are made.
