My job in the Tour is to get the sponsor's logo in the most prominent place.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I'd love to have my achievements recognised and for people to know enough about cycling to understand what my achievements mean.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
The thing with depression is you don't realise you have it and even when you do you don't want to realise you have it.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
Once you can accept that you have a mental illness, that is when you can work on it.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
What keeps athletes going is the optimism we are going to be able to compete again.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I'm a fan of motorsport and a fan of McLaren and I was lucky to work with the company on a small scale across my career but to be able to race now with that brand on my jersey, it's pretty special. I still have to rein in my fanboy attitude sometimes.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
If you're on the top for your sport or 10 years it's going to seem like you've had more knock-backs than someone who has been at the top for three years.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
If you're on the top for 10 years it's going to seem like you have more crashes that someone on the top for three years. If you don't win as much in your ninth or 10th year it's going seem like you are on your way out.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I'm going to do the Commonwealth Games for no other reason than national pride. It's something special getting to ride for the Isle of Man.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I don't know why, but despite winning how many world championships, how many Tour stages, and being 31 years old, some people still thought I had to prove myself, you know. So I had to do the Track Worlds to try to prove myself.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
The beautiful thing about cycling is that it is so accessible and that pleased me when I was younger because you felt like you could almost touch the athletes.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
Between 20km and 10km to go, you want the whole team at the front. You don't necessarily want to take control, and the speed will be dictated by how many surges you get from the other teams. You don't want to go so fast they can't come, but you want to be just ahead so you're in control.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
One thing I do get aggravated by is people shouting with frustration if they get pushed and shoved in sprints. I don't push and shove anyone, but I don't care if somebody does it to me.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
A lot of people in the Isle of Man support me and it makes it all worthwhile when people are interested in what you're doing. I dunno if the word 'famous' is appropriate, but I'm quite well known on the Isle of Man.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I started getting into decent food after I got a house in Tuscany, near the British cycling academy's training base. For a cyclist, the area is incredible, with the flats of the basin of Florence, the heights of the Apennines and the small climbs around Chianti.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I love track racing and I'm proud to be a British cyclist and proud to pull on the jersey to represent my country.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I'm not getting bored with cycling or winning - I love it. But I need to give myself new targets all the time.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
For any young rider even competing in the San Remo is one of the biggest things - but to win it is beyond emotion. You can't put it into words.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I have a house in a small town in Tuscany where everybody knows and looks out for each other. That's a similar mentality to on the Isle of Man.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I heal pretty well and I know if I crash on the first day of the Tour de France, I've got to get up and get on with it.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
Training-wise, I don't have an extreme plan I stick to. I know what I have to do, I know the goal. But it's not really structured. That's the beauty of road cycling. It all depends on the conditions on the day and where you are in the world.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
When I was younger, I didn't really train for the sprint - I trained to get over the mountains. I have to train it now I'm getting older. But the sprint is more born, rather than made.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I don't listen to any music when I train - I do it outdoors, and I'm not a fan of iPods on bikes.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
The way I dig in to push myself through mountain climbs is totally psychological. I'm not designed to do that stuff. It's mind over matter.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
It's my job. It's not a hobby, it's how I put food on the table for my family. I have to be on a bike.
Quote by -Mark Cavendish
I would probably build somewhere between a half-mile and three-quarter-mile track. It would be sort of like Indianapolis Raceway Park. When I was a kid, that was my favorite track.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I just feel so confident when I get in my race car that I'm going to do good, I'm going to win, I'm going to outrun everybody.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
You can only beat a guy down so far before he has a tendency to start listening to what you're saying.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I love my job. It doesn't feel like a job, and I don't look at it as work.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
There's a Bible verse that says if you believe, you will be in the presence of the Lord in the blink of an eye. And I know Dale was a believer, and that means that he saw his son and his friend going to win the Daytona 500, and he was in heaven all within the blink of an eye.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I built my team with Dale in mind. He lives with me. He's part of who I am because I just appreciated who he was and how he went about things. People worked on his cars at Dale Earnhardt Incorporated before I got there. When Dale would walk by you could just tell people were thinking, 'these are Dale Earnhardt's cars.'
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The thing that warms my heart is people. I have just met so many kind folks that want to just pat you on the back and say, 'We love you.'
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
This is racing. There is going to be twists and turns. You're going to be dealt setbacks.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I was confident that I not only could win races, but I could win the championship.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Dale was just trying to get third. Maybe he was thinking that he could get a run on everyone coming out of Turn 4. But the race was over. Junior and I had pulled away, so there was no need to block. That always hurt me when people said he was blocking for me, because it almost felt like it was my fault that he died. But I don't think that anymore.
