"I don't want to come across that I'm quitting because I am bitter. I've spent five years trying to get to a place that I can never go back to and that's causing more stress than it is worth. There must be more to life than this. I've been riding my bike a lot, trying to figure out life, which is the same reason I did it to start with, so I've come full circle. I'll always ride my bike but I'll never start on a line on a road and try to get to another line on a road faster than another guy."
—Floyd Landis, announcing his retirement plans to ESPN's reporter Bonnie Ford yesterday.
