车手语录(五):关于竞技
这就是成为PRO需要付出的代价。如果没有在背后捅刀子或是没有背叛就很难获胜。如果你不遵守这个游戏规则,那你就会被当成傻子。一旦你说出了这个规则,那你就会出局。一己之力无法打败主车群,更别说让他改变。——赫尔曼·雪佛兰(自行车专题作家,这句话描述的是几十年前的主车群)
It's the price to pay for becoming a pro. There's rarely a win without backstabbing or betrayal on the way. You're seen as an idiot if you don't play the game. And if you ever speak up, you're out. One man can never beat the peloton, let alone change it. ——Herman Chevrolet
没有竞赛,只有无常。——雅克·恩奎蒂尔
There are no races. Only lotteries. ——Jacques Anquetil
前面的人似乎触手可及,一个状态好的车手只要加两脚就能追上。但是对于肌肉紧绷的你来说,这是一个巨大的鸿沟,是无法逾越的海峡:你被诅咒,不得不眼睁睁地看着被选中之人正在通往天堂的传送带,而你这个可怜鬼则成了地狱中被诅咒的冤魂。——马特·西顿
The gap is tantalising, so easy to close with just a few kicks for a rider with fresh legs. But for you, with your seized muscles, it is a yawning chasm, an unbridgeable gulf: you are being condemned to watch the chosen ones being transported away as if on a conveyor belt to Elysian fields, while you, poor wretch, are a lost soul in the underworld, one of the damned. ——Matt Seaton
比赛越难,越好。——莉奇· 戴格南(2015年女子世锦赛冠军)
The harder the race, the better. ——Lizzie Deignan, née Armitstead
嘘声比欢呼声更加响亮。——兰斯·阿姆斯特朗
A boo is a lot louder than a cheer. ——Lance Armstrong
我比赛是为了赢,而不是取悦他人。——伯纳德·伊诺
I race to win, not to please people. ——Bernard Hinault
失败者展现的人格会或许让胜利者相形见绌。——大卫·米勒
The manner in which one loses the battle can sometimes outshine the victory. ——David Millar
