I can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and my family can look at me too and that's all that matters.

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.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say: 'Enough is enough.'

The way you live your life, the perspective you select, is a choice you make every single day when you wake up. It's yours to decide.

I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.

I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.

Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
