The biggest losers are those who care only about winning.

I tried to control the narrative.

I would love to be in a place, and I may never get there, where I can help people. It's something that I never really cared to advertise. It got advertised. I still do it on one-on-one level almost daily.

I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.

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

I rode, and I rode, and I rode. I rode like I had never ridden, punishing my body up and down every hill I could find. I rode when no one else would ride.

The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing.
