Make an obstacle an opportunity, make a negative a positive.

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.

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.

Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.

Average is Your Enemy.

During our lives...we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a hand-to-hand battle with failure, head down in the rain, just trying to stay upright and to have a little hope.

It's ironic, I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride.
