Lance Armstrong is not the biggest fraud in the history of world sport. US Postal was not the most sophisticated doping programme.

The idea that anybody was forced, or pressured, or encouraged, is not true.

Losing and dying: it's the same thing.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Me and running don’t always see eye to eye. Some days it hurts more than others. But it doesn’t mean I don’t do it. I deal with it and I keep running because not everything that is good for you, always feels good for you.

Well, you better ride like you stole something 'cause you are about to win a stage in the Tour de Fance.

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