Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can't pick up the phone to everybody that doubts me and explain myself.

Bike
|
Nov 07, 2020

The only thing that I can do - and the only thing that I've always done - is to ride my bike fast and get my head down and control the things I can control.

Champion
|
Nov 07, 2020

Crossing the line and being world champion, I've always dreamt about it, and now I've done it. It's quite a surreal feeling, but obviously very special.

Focused
|
Nov 07, 2020

You've got all that 130 km. of being totally focused, and as soon as you cross the line, it takes a few seconds to realise what's happened.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's been a lot of champions before me, and I'm sure there will be ahead of me.

Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

As far as I'm concerned, as soon as you reach your goal, then that's the box ticked for me. I don't feel the need to repeat titles or repeat victories; as soon as I get the one, then I'm happy.

Like

Negative
|

The problem, as a female athlete, is that you don't want to come across as negative and moaning.

It's difficult to change things in a positive way.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have got lots of silver medals, from Delhi in 2010 and London in 2012, so it would be nice to pick up some golds, and the Commonwealth Games is a great place to start.

Harder
|
Nov 07, 2020

The harder the race, the better.

Deal
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's no big deal if I disappoint strangers.

Nov 07, 2020

Nov 07, 2020

I've been successful because I've never been someone to shy away from taking responsibility.

Nov 07, 2020

It's fantastic news that the Aviva Women's Tour will continue in 2016.

Community
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a British rider, it's a privilege to be able to compete on home roads. The British public have really taken to cycling, and you can see that when the race goes through different towns: the community really gets behind it.

Growth

I'm excited to see the growth in women's cycling, and I think the Women's Tour has had a really positive impact on that change.

Life
|

Hurts
|
Nov 07, 2020

It hurts me to consider anybody questioning my performances.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Integrity is something I strive for in every part of my life.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

I will hold my head high in Rio and do my best for Great Britain.

Faith
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am sorry for causing anyone to lose faith in sport.

Be Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

I need to learn to be happy and enjoy the achievement rather than already thinking about what I could have done better.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am proud, but I'm annoyed with myself for not believing in myself enough.

Heat
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm suited to harsh conditions, I don't like racing in the heat.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

Cyclists need to obey the Highway Code, not run red lights, and not ride with iPods on, and motorists need to be more respectful and look out for cyclists.

Nov 07, 2020

I pay my taxes.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like being part of the Great Britain setup. I like feeling I'm at a race that is important and the pressure that goes with it.

Done

Nov 07, 2020

I'm 100 per cent motivated. I haven't done enough yet in cycling to be satisfied.

I Can
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've never thought about it in training, 'If I do this, then maybe I can be on the SPOTY shortlist.'

My Own
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's really important for cycling and for women to be on a sporting stage which is in the mainstream and across the board, not just my own sport.

Females
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a female athlete, I think it's really important to stand up on a podium and represent females and what we're capable of, and I always try to make political statements with what I do rather than with headlines.

Enough
|
Nov 07, 2020

A family is something that I definitely want, but I'm 26, so I have plenty of time, and I try not to kind of confuse the two because, if I'm lucky enough, I want to make having a baby a personal decision rather than a career-defined one.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not at the point of accepting it yet - but I will have to come to the point of accepting that people will doubt me forever.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I will never cheat in any walk of life.

Feel
|

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

There are a lot of people I look up to and respect, but there's nobody really specific I would call a hero.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I mean, for me, the reason I ride my bike and race is because I love doing it, not because I'm seeking recognition for it.

Men
|
Nov 07, 2020

The UCI have to make the decision to put in rules into women's cycling that they have in men's cycling: you know, like a minimum budget to run a women's team and that sort of thing so that it becomes more professional.

Bike
|
Nov 07, 2020

I remember taking my stabilisers off my bike with my dad in the back garden. It was a small little bike, and it was called Poppy, had balloons on it, and was purple.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't look at my emails on the weekend or after 6 o'clock in the day.

Nov 07, 2020

I'm old-fashioned.

Phone
|
Nov 07, 2020

I remember if the telephone rang after 9 o'clock in the house, my mother would say, 'Who's ringing at this time?' We just wouldn't answer the phone.

Champion
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love being world champion.

Nov 07, 2020

Feel
|

When I have children, it will be my choice, and I won't feel under any pressure.

Fads

I don't particularly buy into all the nutrition fads and that sort of thing.

Healthy
|
Nov 07, 2020

As long as my weight is healthy, then I eat what I want.

Normal
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have to make sure I get the right amount of protein and iron, and I take supplements for that. I think people would be surprised if they saw my diet, though; it's very normal.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's very special that the Olympics is in London. As a first Olympic experience, it's going to be pretty incredible.

Person
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a very goal-oriented person, so I look at the specific demands of a certain race and tailor my training towards that.

Order
|
Nov 07, 2020

I used to think that in order to be lean, I had to under-eat.

Body
|
Nov 07, 2020

I eat a lot more now than I ever used to. I have taken a real interest in nutrition and believe in the difference that makes when fueling your body correctly. That means never skipping a meal and making sure that my diet supports my training needs.

Professional
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have a strong, inspiring, and professional group of women around me with Boels-Dolmans. We race and train incredibly hard as a team.

Much
|
Nov 07, 2020

Most women's races don't pay much at all.

My Own
|
Nov 07, 2020

I had to find my own path, and in some ways, it's been a good thing.

Focus

Nov 07, 2020

My focus has to be on my career.

Person
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm quite a strong person, and I've become even stronger.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

When you are on a climb, you always pick out people's words of encouragement, and it can push us on, without doubt.

Nov 07, 2020

You can't expect a woman who's holding down a part-time job to train for the biggest race in the world. She has to have a minimum wage, and I think it's something that is pretty crazy that we don't have that.

Business
|
Nov 07, 2020

At the end of the day, cycling is a business, so we have to be able to offer something to a sponsor, and without exposure, that's going to be difficult, but that's where the UCI perhaps has to be a little bit stronger.

Gold
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's not always about gold medals, I think. It has to be about development, and we are missing that in U.K. at the moment.

Best
|
Nov 07, 2020

There is no pathway for female GB road cyclists, but at the same time, if you are wanting to be the best in the world, you have to forge your own pathway. It's not that things should be there on a plate for you. You have to work really hard, and that's what I've done, and I didn't let it stop me.

May
|
Nov 07, 2020

As I get older, it's getting more frustrating because I'm starting to think about what I'm going to do after cycling, and I may be pushed to study alongside riding in order to prepare for retirement - all those things the professional blokes don't really have to think about.

Nov 07, 2020

It's something that can get overwhelming and frustrating, the sexism I experience in my career. It's just obviously a big issue in women's sport, like salaries, media coverage, just general things that you have to cope with in your career.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Outside the Olympics, there are massive discrepancies within all sports. But the positive side for me is that the Olympics are the biggest platform there is, and there's total equality across all sports.

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

I never expected to compete at home in a UCI women's race - let alone as world champion.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can't feel sorry for myself.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

I never gave up, and for that, I can be proud of myself.
