As a kid growing up - I can see now - it didn't matter what I did, as long as it was something I could be really good at. Cycling just happened to be the opportunity that came along.

As a professional track cyclist, I have always challenged myself, and I enjoy seeing how I cope when faced with the unknown.

I am a self-critical perfectionist.

I've always been very open with my emotions. Actually, that's got me into a lot of trouble, too, in the past.

My victory against Venus was the most special. She's is a multi grand slam champion; her sister is Serena Williams. I was like, 'What is going on?' I broke her five times in a row. She is one of the best servers in the game.

I am just like all the jerks and idiots you know. I am just a guy that watches sports all day.

I'm just playing my football, and I will just see what the future holds for me.

In sports, teams win and individuals don't.
