Your training partner's name is pain. You start out trying to ignore him. Can't do it.
You attempt to reason with him. No way. You try to strike a bargain. Hah.
You plead. You say "Please stop, please go away. I promise never ever to do
this again if you just leave me alone." But he won't. Pain only climbs off if you do.
Then you're beaten. - Scott Martin

One's first glimpse of freedom, in fact is often snatched from

You can't win without suffering. Whether it's in the mountains
or in a time trial you have to spare no effort. You may feel drained

As long as I breathe, I attack.
-Bernard Hinault

Try not...
Do... or do not.
There is no try. -Jedi Master Yoda

Everyday there's something that reminds me why I love this sport.
-Bernard Hinault

Hard training, easy combat;
easy training, hard combat.
- Marshal Suvorov, famous Russian General

I race to win, not to please people.
-Bernard Hinault

If you don’t have confidence,
you’ll always find a way not to win.
- Carl Lewis

You have to decide whether to put up with the pain
or whether to stop and get off the bike
