Perhaps the single most important element in mastering the techniques and tactics of racing is experience. But once you have the fundamentals, acquiring the experience is a matter of time.

If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell.
Lance Armstrong
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
Lance Armstrong
Through my illness I learned rejection. I was written off. That was the moment I thought, Okay, game on. No prisoners. Everybody`s going down.

Of course I would have liked to beat him but unfortunately I couldn`t. It`s not really relief because the Tour`s going to change. There won`t be a team like his who will control the race.
Jan Ullrich
It`s a lot more open without Armstrong. I really have to be careful that I have everything in hand. Basso is always getting better, Heras has to bring his Vuelta performance to the Tour, and Vino has already announced his intentions.
Jan Ullrich
In the Tour, it`s important to use every opportunity to distance or eliminate adversaries and if there`s a chance, I won`t hesitate to attack.

Lance Armstrong
I would prefer not to go and have to do all the preparations for Madrid, ... The thing is, if I prepare for the World`s, I prepare for the road race. I have twice been World Champion in the time trial, so now the road race is my focus.
Jan Ullrich
I have always said that a Tour victory is more valuable if Lance Armstrong is participating. I will do everything I can to beat him in his last appearance on the Tour.
Jan Ullrich
[T-Mobile`s Jan Ullrich and CSC`s Ivan Basso, two the great contenders for next year`s Tour de France, didn`t mingle with the top ten of the race. Both came in with the peloton nearly one minute after the winner, and finished 45th and 59th respectively.] ...
Jan Ullrich
You don`t suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.
