Everyday there's something that reminds me why I love this sport.

I race to win, not to please people.

I slept like a baby the night before, because I knew that I'd win the next day.

I may, however, begin riding again when I am 60.

I have the impression that cycling is no longer a game but rather an employment... a job.

I have contacts with the Tour de France which keep me close to cycling.

I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one's work.

Illegal drug use runs contrary to the image of health depicted by cycling. Distributors of these drugs must be prosecuted more harshly as they are ciminals.

I am working as public relations director for the Tour de France and maintaining my farm.
