Everyone in their life has his own particular way of expressing life's purpose - the lawyer his eloquence, the painter his palette, and the man of letters his pen from which the quick words of his story flow. I have my bicycle.

Real heroes are others, those who have suffered in their soul, in their heart, in their spirit, in their mind, for their loved ones. Those are the real heroes. Im just a cyclist.

Willy Voet? He said something along these lines, IIRC. (Although it was maybe about being famous rather than being rich)

"Maybe Menchov is strong enough to win the Tour, but if you work now, and I keep the lead, then I'll race just so he loses. I promise you that. I'll attack every single day to make sure of it. I don't care. I'll make your lives hell."

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Bartali is one of only a handful of people in sports history who legitimately deserves the accolade of being known as a hero.

Because he had better ghost-writers?

Au contraire, Bartali didn't need ghost writers, or PR ladies......he acted without thought of his image.....kept his best works secret.....i have him as my absolute cycling hero, having grown up believing in Coppi, I now see I was sold celebrity rather than the real thing ( I still like Coppi though!)

Coppi and Bartali, in that order?
both Bartali....you win a trip to teide with no expenses paid. : D

I agree Bartali was a hero and he would run(or cycle many) a mile from it.

Today's riders would do well to take a tiny leaf out of Bartali's book.......

I'm very interested to know who said this and your kohl quote

This one was by Phil Gilbert during his FdJ days when he took on an important role in the CPA in 2008. He was mainly talking about the whereabouts system I think.

The Kohl quote is from Andy Schleck somewhere in 2009.

If we wished to do so you would go out and just buy Contador – if that's what you wanted. But that's not what this team is about. It is about creating a way for young riders to develop and perform. It is about creating a ....... team for people to support and it's about getting people excited about cycling. It's not about just going out and cherry-picking the best cyclists in the world.
