Extraordinary allegations require extraordinary evidence.

I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.

The Europeans look down on raising your hands. They don't like the end-zone dance. I think that's unfortunate. That feeling - the finish line, the last couple of meters - is what motivates me.

I exercise everyday. I swim, I bike, I run and I go to the gym.

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

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

I still don't get golf.
