If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail.
All I got from van Looy and his cronies was ridicule, not one piece of help or advice. They were very unfair, I was still just a naive young boy really. With Peugeot, and es[Simpson]pecially with Tom [Simpson], it was completely different.
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.
I knew we had to drive on cobblestones, but I didn’t know they had thrown them down from a helicopter.
Your most difficult opponent is not the one facing you. Human nature, on the other hand, is.
If you fail in your preparation, you might as well prepare to fail.
If you brake, you don’t win.
I have noticed a very, very talkative Silkeborg player. And all the talk about Silkeborg playing much better football this season than last, is perhaps justified. Instead of kicking the ball 40 yards up the field like they did last season, they kick it just 35 yards forward this season.
The top of it all is then, I really wished him (Solbakken, ed.) To get that victory goal made and piss on those farmers. And I want to be allowed to say “piss on those farmers” because those spectators do not deserve another name.
Isn’t it great to see so many men in bike shorts?
One man can be crucial to a team, but one man cannot make a whole team.
The bicycle has a soul. If you succeed to love it, it will give you emotions that you will never forget.
There are some who claim that football is a matter of life and death. It’s an attitude that disappoints me. I can assure you that football is much more than that!
Shut up legs
Sportsmanship for me is when a player leaves the field and you can’t tell if the player has won or lost. When the player exudes pride regardless of the result.
I think it was a really bad team they had assembled. I could not see what the party monkey and the toad face would help John Faxe Jensen with.
In our case, you could be a bit cheeky and say that there is probably not that much difference between integrating a North Jutlander and a Swede
When it’s hurting you that’s when you can make a difference.
One must have a big nose to be able to smell something.
Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and heartache.
Champions play until they reach their goal.
Cyclists live with pain. If you can’t handle it you will win nothing.
As long as I breathe, I attack.
His shiny ice flashes like the sword of Athens in the setting French evening sun.
