    "Well, I know the signs, because the same thing happened to me. An older neighbour. Her name was Elaine. I was 18 and my body was firm from push-ups and sit-ups. I was stunning. But whilst my body was mature, I had the mind of a 12-year-old. Elaine invited me over with the promise of pie. Little did I know this would lead to an eight-year-long psychosexual entanglement. She’s probably dead now. Life’s funny sometimes. And… scene."

    This is LA as well, but it is good:

    “Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once; someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE???? I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure; I did it for the pain.”

    Wiggins referring to people who accuse him of doping :

    "It's easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter and write that sort of s***, rather than get off their a***s in their own lives and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something. And that's ultimately it. C**ts."

    Perhaps one of the finest uses of the C word outside of Bricktops words of wisdom from Snatch about the word nemesis.
