David Millar Quotes & Sayings (Page 2)

“Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class - the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.”

“I think cycling has always had a tradition of being a bit dapper, especially back in the day.”

“I'm an accumulation of every single thing I've done, good and bad.”

“Survival is the main objective. There are going to be some awful days, I know that from my background in the sport.”

“It seemed romantic but also tragic - people would be winning but then lose it all, or crash but fight on, break bones but get back on their bikes and try to finish. Just getting to the end was seen as an achievement in itself.”

“Everything that's going on within the peloton - there's about ten different races going on. There is also a survival element to it - I love the fact that it's so epic. You crash on a bike, the first thing you do is try and get back up on it. No whinging!”

“In fact cycling has always been 'saved' by judicial investigations and not by the anti-doping controls we put in place. That's the harsh truth. We have relied on them to clean the sport up.”

“I've been proud to be national champion. I've really enjoyed it. I have very little opportunity to remind people that I'm British and it's a nice way of staying in touch. I'm going to defend it fiercely. I want to keep it.”

“I sat there with everything - and I had nothing.”

“I like my hands. Which is lucky as I have to spend all day looking at them on the handlebars.”
