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

Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?

It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.

It gave me a chance to re-evaluate my life and my career. Cancer certainly gives things a new perspective. I would not have won the Tour de France if I had not had cancer. It gave me new strength and focus.

Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.

I'm cycling to take cancer message worldwide.

Cycling is a sport of the open road and spectators are lining that road.
