I am working as public relations director for the Tour de France and maintaining my farm.

I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one's work.

I have the impression that cycling is no longer a game but rather an employment... a job.

I coach my daughter's softball and basketball team. We go to all the school functions. We go out to eat at night and take the kids to the movies. We try to be as normal as we can.

I don't just want to be someone who hits the ball 100 per cent every time. You can play with freedom and still mix up the pace, mix up the spins and everything like that. That's what I want to be doing, because you get into that very one-dimensional kind of tennis if you don't work on slicing and coming into the net.

The car business is a lot like football. In football, you have to win once a week. In the car business, you have to win every day.

Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.
