    I like this Boonen one, but only as the (poor) English translation:
    “I was unable to move up one gear but I still managed to keep pedaling and win that great sprint as you all saw.”

    and this

    Sean Kelly is met by his wife after a the ’84 Amstel Gold Race and they get in his Citroen AX: “Ah, Sean” says his beloved wife, “in your life the car comes first, then the bike, then me.” “You got the order wrong,” Kelly scowls, “the bike comes first.”

    I just remembered one on the way to work.

    When Robert Millar was asked what the first week of the TDF was all about, he said "wearing out a set of brake blocks a day and learning to swear in lots of different languages."
