Greatest Ever Tour de France
It was a very hard Giro to finish ... I got through it and that set me up to do my first Tour de France later that summer. So the Giro's been pretty instrumental in points of my career.
When you have the possibility to win the Tour de France, you have to take the best team to the Tour to control the race in the mountains ... There will be teams to control the sprints. Which ones? Lotto. Why not? It depends which riders we take. We have also Vanendert and Van Den Broeck for the GC. I do...
I suddenly had to come to terms with being coupled with a not-so-silent passenger, a chronic relapsing-remitting disease, until a cure can be found. I've always loved watching the Tour de France and thought maybe I would be mad enough to try it out one day. After the Crohn's diagnosis it puts everything...
When we looked at it initially, the drive was to get more really credible sport on to ITV1 and indeed on to ITV4. We had done the Tour de France, which worked well in that respect.
If I start there would be a big risk that I will have to give up after a few days ... I spoke with the team management and had a meeting and my program is overhauled. I’m still planning on riding the Tour de France or Vuelta a España this year. I need to recover from this injury and will probably start ...
The time he does in Denmark and Italy will set him up for the Tour de France, which is the biggest goal for both him and the team.
I am a professional cyclist, and Olympic athlete, a Tour de France star, a world champion -- and a drugs cheat
Compared to the Tour de France, we have the advantage of being a bit smaller and more flexible ... So it's easier for us to move around.
My season was directed at peaking for the Tour de France ... But when you think about it, this situation creates opportunities. For sure, I will come to the start with a different preparation than the other GC riders, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. My condition is not so bad, and it can only g...
I have to have that discussion with [the] selectors but we have to look at what the other guys are delivering, how their preparations have gone, what races they've had and if they get that Tour de France start, is that going to set them to another level
I have to have that discussion with [the] selectors but we have to look at what the other guys are delivering, how their preparations have gone, what races they've had and if they get that Tour de France start, is that going to set them to another level ... We're going to have those discussions with any...
I didn’t say that I wanted to win on the Champs- Élysées this year. It’s a big dream for me some day ... This year at the Tour I want to get the experience. I want to see how they race. Of course, I want to go for the sprints, but I do think I have the big pressure because it’s my first Tour de France. ...
I'm really looking forward to the Giro, especially as I haven't ridden a great deal on the road this season. I took part in the race once before in 2008 and found it to be a lot less stressful than the Tour de France. The atmosphere is fantastic and Italy is a special country to ride in.
It's quite an honour to see a seven-time Tour de France winner and someone you admire standing in second place below you on the podium ... It's a highlight of my career.
Lance Armstrong is a great man and an absolute inspiration. His cancer was much worse than what I had. Coming back from cancer and winning seven Tour de France titles was incredible. For me, he is a real-life hero
The Tour de France was something I always wanted to be able to do
Earlier in the year, these guys raced in the Tour of Qatar ... That race might not have the stature of, say, the Tour de France, but some of the best riders in the world were at Qatar. If these guys can compete there, they're going to make some noise here.
I set out at the start of the year with a programme that included the Tour de France but now I've got to readjust that because I've only got a 50-50 chance of riding at it and I'll have to build another programme to prepare for the games.
So certainly by the Olympics I'll be back racing, but for the Tour de France, I'm not so sure.
With riders of the caliber of Boonen and Gilbert, the Belgians are certainly candidates for a medal ... The main contenders for Olympic gold will be racing in the Tour de France. We have to see how fresh each is coming out of the race. On a one-day race, it is paramount to be on top on D-Day.
