from 2012 - Quotes
prior to 2012 “It’s
a sad day for Alberto Contador; it's a sad day for cycling. I think
people want to kill off cycling. I’m the first to say that we need good
anti-doping tests, but I think that in cycling they go too far.” - Eddy Merckx VeloNation
“Our legal system failed us.
This is what happens when you have a lot of money." -
Frankie Andreu CyclingNews
“...to
be honest with you, I think they [the ex riders of the Garmin-Cervélo
women’s team] are satisfied with it, I certainly hope they are
satisfied with it. We really busted ourselves to make [sure] that the athletes
are taken care of, that their contracts were honored, and that they
were going to be on a team that is one of the best in the
world.” - Jonathan Vaughters VeloNation
“As
Tour winner I could have signed a contract worth millions for several
years. We demand more than 5.6 million euro.” - Michael
Rasmussen VeloNation
"Cabled
shifting won't be obsolete, but for the foreseeable future electronic
shifting will be the top of the line for Campy and Shimano. It’ll get
lighte, smaller, better, cheaper, and more widespread, and eventually
all pro teams sponsored by the big two will be on it." - Andy Shen NYVeloCity
"No sport is 100
per cent clean - I think 95 per cent of the cyclists are clean. In the
normal world, not everybody is clean." - Eddy
Merckx SBS
“The
International Cycling Union (UCI) condemns the publication this week of
information concerning the Alberto Contador hearing before the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS)... The case of Alberto Contador is now in the hands of the CAS Panel. The UCI calls upon the sporting community to await the result of the deliberations of the panel with serenity and due respect for the judicial process.” - UCI Press Release road.cc "Bike racing's just a hobby I
happen to be very good at. It's not a matter of life and death." -
Robbie McEwen PodiumCafe
“I haven’t done anything wrong. I’ve always respected the law, my conscience is clean” - Alejandro Valverde InnerRing
“We
demand that the evil UCI empire end its reign of tyranny on the women’s
peloton. We have grown tired of working in the ‘sweat shops of the
cycling world.’ We will take strategic action and restrained yet
violent verbal warfare to achieve our goals, beginning with our march.
We shall throw stones at the UCI’s glass house of
oppression.” - Giorgia Bronzini [aka Bronze
X] Cyclismas
“His
[Andy Schleck's] problem is Fränk and vice-versa. How they
rode the
Tour de Suisse is an example of that. They’re incomprehensible. They
cancel each other out in turn. I’d like to see him more decisive, but
instead he attacks and after four pedal strokes he turned around. He
gives the impression of being a radio-controlled rider.” - Mario Cipollini CyclingNews
