I've committed to surfing the rest of my life.

Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight.

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.

How many times do I have to say it? … Well, it can't be any clearer than 'I've never taken drugs.'

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

When I made the decision - when my team-mates made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision - it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. But it happened.

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.
