I realize that there are many variables outside my control in my quest, but focusing on the big goal down the road really motivates me. To help me stay focused, I set micro-goals such as races or training achievements that bring me one step closer to being at my best for major goals

I got the three things I wanted. I did my job, I worked hard in the process, and I cherish the memories, and they're mine.

Well, you better ride like you stole something 'cause you are about to win a stage in the Tour de Fance.

My greatest point is my persistence... However down I am, I fight until the last ball.

If life gives you lemons, drink the juice in order to mask the presence of performing-enhancing drugs.

There was more happiness in the process, in the build, in the preparation. The winning was almost phoned in.
