But, listen, Eddie Merkyx would have won six Tours if he hadn't been punched.
Sooner or later a rider will emerge who will win more Tours. In every sport we have seen how the records eventually get broken and cycling is no exception.
To be a part of TT history is a massive achievement. It is one of, if not the greatest races on two wheels, if not on four.
It's a great feeling when someone like Bernard Hinault comes up to you on the podium to say 'Welcome to the club
I'd love to win Paris-Roubaix.
To be honest, if I had to pick somebody to be related to in sport, who's better than Lance Armstrong with what he's done for the sport and with his cancer foundation?
If somebody had told me as a kid that I would win 30 stages of the Tour de France I probably wouldn't have imagined it. I probably imagined I could do it - I don't lack confidence - but at the end of the day one Tour de France stage win can make a rider's career.
I was a fan of Lance Armstrong, and I remember watching him win the Worlds in '93 in Oslo.
Being the new Eddy Merckx is not something I want to hear. I want to be somebody new.
Tom Simpson is like the Bobby Moore of British cycling.
