“Cycling taught me to recognize that mental health is on a sliding scal...” — Chris Hoy Quote

Cycling taught me to recognize that mental health is on a sliding scale. Some days you are up and some days you are down.

If you stop and think about it before you compete, you would freeze. If you think about the millions of people watching, the expectation, the consequences of winning, of losing, it's a massive moment in your life.

The P2 is the best car I have driven so far. Once you get your head round it, it's fun to drive, it's responsive, it does what you ask but you have to treat it with respect or it will bite you.

Someone like Jessica Ennis-Hill having her first baby then bouncing back to become world champion in the space of the year. I maybe wouldn't have appreciated just how big an achievement that was until I had my own child. It's an incredible thing.

I'm always glued to the Tour de France, with cycling being close to wheelchair racing in terms of technology and how we race.

The cycling helmet can save your life, but it doesn't look good and tends to ruin your hair.

It's hard to put into words, really, how proud I am and great it is to represent Wales because, in cycling, it's a little-known country, so it's nice to put it on the map.

I think cycling has always had a tradition of being a bit dapper, especially back in the day.

I used to spend all my school holidays cycling around, so all this training has made me feel like a kid again.
