I can't believe it. I've worked hard while I've been with Lance for the last six years and it's been an amazing run.

We have worked hard over the last six months, so we had to put it on the line. We went out there and finished it.

This is something we worked hard for six years to build. To have it wiped out, it's crushing.

I'm really not in that good of shape yet. But I've got two wins already. We virtually had the whole team at the front, and I had super legs for the climb.

I will be off the bike for about a week but look forward to resuming my training.

I'm very proud of my partnership with Amgen and The Wellness Community on the Breakaway from Cancer campaign because nearly everyone is touched by cancer in one way or another and it is critical that those affected realize they don't have to face this illness alone. Just as in cycling, where it takes a great support team to help an individual breakaway from the pack, it takes a strong support network to help a cancer patient face the many hurdles throughout treatment.
