Cycling is not rocket science.

I'm feeling better than expected.

Don't buy upgrades, ride up grades.

Shut up body and do what I tell you

I like to keep my wheels on the ground.

I'm from Holland, and I'm used to rain.

There's no such thing as an easy stage.

Cycling is not a sport it's a lifestyle.

BMX is kind of a big guy sport, you know.

Anyone who rides a bike is a friend of mine.

The mother of the imbecile is always pregnant.

I get paid to hurt other people, how good is that?

I won! I won! I don't have to go to school anymore.

Training is the key to keep people from getting hurt.

To me there's no doubt I will be fighting for victory.

Every time I race, I will race so fiercely my legs cry.

I've won. Hurray! I don't have to go to school any more.

I'm in pain but I'm confident I'll feel better tomorrow.

If it hurts me, it must hurt the other ones twice as much.

When my legs hurt, I say: “Shut up legs! Do what I tell you to do!

Cyclists live with pain. If you can't handle it you will win nothing

While I'm not very talented at cooking, I am very talented at eating.

I have seen many lean riders in the peloton, but very few Tour winners

When you're the oldest rider at the Tour de France, you really feel it.

Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.

Having things organized is for small-minded people. Genius controls chaos.

After 120 kilometers my body said, ‘ooh, ooh Jens! What were you thinking?’

See the opportunities for adventures, not the constraints that get in the way.

From the time I was six years old, I wanted to be a BMX Racer and be the best.

Apart from the fact that I can move the bike fast, I am basically Joe Average.

In the hierarchy of the family, I'm just above the dog. But I like it that way.

I am confident that when I get really old, the human lifespan will be extended.

If you try to win, you might lose, but if you don't try to win, you lose for sure!

Sometimes, when we train, we simply have to go out to meet the Man with the Hammer

Thanks to the Tour de France, riding the Champs-Elysees has a great cycling history.

You do not need to fly to the other side of the planet to find wilderness and beauty.

Understand before you pass judgement. But how do you pass judgement once you have understood?

Whoever still can't put one and one together about what happened in cycling is beyond my help.

Kids, man. They'll be the ones to take mountain biking to the next level for us. You just watch

Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur?

I want to be motivational and inspirational for everybody: my big aim is more women on bicycles.

It all happened so fast. Someone slammed the brakes and there was no way to go, just straight into it.

If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win.

I haven't accepted anyone telling me what is or isn't possible and have just kept moving along toward my goals.

When you're turning the crankset, you're riding the bike. When you're coasting, you're just along for the ride.

Crashing is never funny, but sometimes you can jump up, laugh at your stupidity, and go, 'What the hell was that?'

Mountain biking helps people become environmentalists. A mountain bike is a vehicle to appreciate the backcountry.

In my time it was different. When I knew the wind was strong, I attacked myself to make the race as hard as possible.

At the Tour, you always have some fantastic days and some days where you hit the asphalt. Today was an asphalt day for me.

My big objective this season is to win three gold medals at the Olympics, in the road race, the time trial and the points race.
