What an idiot I'd been. What a spoilt brat. What a bloody fool.

I was awarded 'Most Aggressive Rider of the Day', generally given to the most spectacular loser of the day.

If you're not at the front, you're not in the race.

The smallest issues can become the most important things in life and reality slips away.

The past is as important as the future, but we only live in the here and now.

I do have bad hair days. If I fall asleep with it slightly damp, I wake up and it'll all be piled up on top in a mess.

You should love yourself.
