A football player will not do well if he can not run around Funen without breathing.
As long as I breathe, I attack.
Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.
Your most difficult opponent is not the one facing you. Human nature, on the other hand, is.
Hard work is more important than talent when talent does not want to work hard.
It doesn’t get any easier, you just get faster.
Whoever said “it’s not just about winning” probably said it after losing.
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
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.
My parents have been there for me ever since I was 7 years old.
If Per Bjerregaard wants to stop telling untruths about us, we will in turn fail to tell the truth about him.
Today you can just show bare ass for ten seconds on TV, then you are world famous in Denmark. 25 years ago, it required much more starquality.
Professional soccer is not a social office.
Virenque is riding. He (Aldag, ed.) stands perfectly still. He stands still as a German tree in the Harz.
We’ve crazy about cycling. We just so like it.
A true master stands up when he cannot.
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!

I do not care if we lose every single match in the league as long as we win it
Set the bar high for your goals and don’t stop until you get there.

Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.
You must never let your worst enemy get into your head.
They are some fools, excuse the expression, because they know the terms, and yet we must listen to the Norwegians’ pathetic statements every year. Many of us are fucking tired of that.
Now they just have to stop coming up with all sorts of weird ideas. You do not know what the next thing they think we should do is. Whether we’re going to run through fire or something. I sat and thought a bit about an idea one could give to them. Maybe the day after tomorrow or in a few days, they will do a stage where we do not know when there are goals. They say it is between 1 cm. and 300 km. and then all of a sudden it’s some man with a flag – maybe a dwarf. And then the stage is over.
