You know what they say, the high trees get the wind.

There was more happiness in the process, in the build, in the preparation. The winning was almost phoned in.

Anything is possible, but you have to believe and you have to fight.

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.

For most of my life I had operated under a simple schematic of winning and losing, but cancer was teaching me a tolerance for ambiguities.

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

Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
