There's no rule, no law, no regulation that says you can't come back. So I have every right to come back.

We sped on, across the plains, toward Metz. I hung back, saving myself. It is called the Race of Truth. The early stages separate the strong riders from the weak. Now the weak would be eliminated altogether.

I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things; stretching and abdominal work.

I exercise everyday. I swim, I bike, I run and I go to the gym.

Made plenty of mistakes along the way - all of which I am truly sorry.

It works better for me to be nervous and hungry.

It's simple. Success comes from training harder, living better and digging deeper than the others.
