“My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.”

“I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.”

“In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.”

“One day, my bike tire broke miles from home and I found a way to fix it. That's what I learned: Even if you don't have all the tools, you can improvise.”

“If it's a sunny day, I get this weird guilt if I'm not making the most of it, so I'll walk or go for a swim or get on my bike, or I'll go to the Heath, just have a reason to get out.”

“I love my bike, a hybrid Matrix Express, which is fast, cheap, easy to park and good exercise.”
