The only event that counts is the Tour, it's the only race that all the media go to. It's far more important than it was in my time, but as I see it cycling is more than the Tour de France.

Eddy Merckx

It's tough though because of the whole part about getting sponsors and people out to watch women's cycling. I think the only way that women can really work it is that we have to work our way more into these big grand tours that the men have like the Tour de Georgia, Tour of Utah, and Tour of California.

Kristin Armstrong

The Singapore Open is the flagship event of the Asian Tour, it is a massive event and it is being played in a great place. I love coming here and it is good to be back.

Lee Westwood

I have contacts with the Tour de France which keep me close to cycling.

Bernard Hinault

I'd love to be able to dominate cycling in general, not just one event.

Caroline Buchanan

Thanks to the Tour de France, riding the Champs-Elysees has a great cycling history.

Marianne Vos

Cycling is an activity which more and more young people are getting involved with, whether they are using their bikes to get to school or work, socially, or cycling as a sport. Cycling is cheap, it's quick, and it makes you look and feel great!

Adrian Bell

I think everyone lifts themselves that little bit extra for the Tour de France, being the pinnacle of our cycling calendar.

Chris Froome

I would like to propose slow cycling. Commute by bike. At a stroke, you remove the need for and absurd cost of public transport. Cycling is almost completely free. There is no longer any need for the gym as you get fit by cycling. And you can go at your own pace.

Tom Hodgkinson

The uptake of people getting involved in cycling is partly down to the big success the team has had in the Tour de France, the Olympics and the World Championships.

Chris Hoy

I want to tell the world of cycling to please join me in telling Pat McQuaid to resign. I have never seen such an abuse of power in cycling's history - resign, Pat, if you love cycling. Resign even if you hate the sport.

Greg LeMond

I'm excited to see the growth in women's cycling, and I think the Women's Tour has had a really positive impact on that change.

Lizzie Armitstead

I agree it is the most important, but cycling is not only about Tour. If everybody thinks like Armstrong, there will be only one race.

Eddy Merckx

The growth of cycling is a good thing. But good cycling is responsible cycling.

Chris Grayling

I started my cycling academy to try and get more people from a BAME background into cycling.

Kadeena Cox

Barcelona, the tournament is, for all the Spanish players, an amazing event. I think is one of the top events on tour because is a historic event with a lot of tradition. A lot of years of the tournament, a lot of great players have been playing there. And it's in a real tennis club.
