Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.

The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing.

It's tougher for me. But I don't think that's imperative to me starting a new movement, or revive an old movement, to help people.

I tried to control the narrative.

I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

The answer is hard work. What are you doing on Christmas Eve? Are you riding your bike? January 1st - are you riding your bike?
