feels prove
I didn't feel I had to prove anything more.
winning trying
I did try to win a sixth, but it was not to be.
pain race cycling
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.
beautiful free-life beautiful-things
To be free and to live a free life - that is the most beautiful thing there is.
riders balanced calmer
My strength was that I am more balanced and calmer than most other riders.
broken-heart sports winning
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.
cycling race suffering
I'm fascinated by the sprinters. They suffer so much during the race just to get to the finish, they hang on for dear life in the climbs, but then in the final kilometers they are transformed and do amazing things. It's not their force per se that impresses me, but rather the renaissance they experience. Seeing them suffer throughout the race only to be reborn in the final is something for fascination.
dad father weather
I inherited that calm from my father, who was a farmer. You sow, you wait for good or bad weather, you harvest, but working is something you always need to do.
years boxing decision
After 14 years in boxing, the best decision I could have made was to take the last year off. My mind was not in boxing, but since I got here with Freddie, everything is working perfectly again. Boxing is all I know. Boxing is my life. Through boxing, I raised my family and I work to provide the best future for them. They are the reason I love boxing.
careers next chapters
Daniel Geale is the next chapter in my career. After I get through him, I can talk about what comes next.
believe fighting media
We as fighters always want to fight the best possible opponents and the best fights. We want the fans and media to be excited about the fights that we have. I now believe that this is a big fight and people want to see it, I'm not sure that was the case a few years back.
destiny careers together
Everything happens at the time it needs to happen. I do not push destiny. Boxers take different paths in their career and those roads don't always come together.
play gloves
I have a glove. I'll play anywhere.
veteran forget
Forget the veterans. They havent told me anything, and they better not come tell me anything, either.
