I didn't just jump back on the bike and win. There were a lot of ups and downs, good results and bad results, but this time I didn't let the lows get to me.

I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

What is stronger, fear or hope?

Forever is a big word. I'm not going anywhere.

I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people.

The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.

I rode, and I rode, and I rode. I rode like I had never ridden, punishing my body up and down every hill I could find. I rode when no one else would ride.
