Lizzie Armitstead Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Lizzie Armitstead:

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.

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