I Didn't Feel I Had To Prove

Everybody Tells Me That I Never Look As If I'm Suffering. But, When I Watch Videotapes Of A Race, I Always Remember The Pain I Had To Endure.

My Strength Was That I Am More Balanced And Calmer Than Most Other Riders.

I Didn't Feel I Had To Prove Anything More.

Sooner Or Later A Rider Will Emerge Who Will Win More Tours. In Every Sport We Have Seen How The Records Eventually Get Broken And Cycling Is No Exception.

To Be Free And To Live A Free Life - That Is The Most Beautiful Thing There Is.
