我曾经走在街上就像个明星...我希望人们能够幻想自己可以变得多么伟大 - 然后每天为之奋斗，直到谎言变成现实。

事实是，如果你让我在赢得环法自行车赛和癌症之间做出选择，我会选择癌症。听起来很奇怪，我宁愿拥有癌症幸存者的头衔，也不愿成为环法冠军，因为它对我作为一个人、一个男人、一个丈夫、一个儿子和一个父亲的影响。
The truth is, if you asked me to choose between winning the Tour de France and cancer, I would choose cancer. Odd as it sounds, I would rather have the title of cancer survivor than winner of the Tour, because of what it has done for me as a human being, a man, a husband, a son, and a father.
