Greg LeMond

I love downtown Seattle. It's a city that has all of the outdoor activities and is still a very cosmopolitan city.

Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.

I know I'll never feel that sensation of racing and winning again and that took a while to get used to. The Tour was a race I never thought I could lose.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
