"Floyd was amazed. He couldn't believe that nine guys, all of us so stressed and tired, could be so forgiving of one another's performances. But that was exactly what made us a strong team. We urged one another on, and teased one another. Sometimes we exceeded expectations, sometimes we fell short, but we always tried to find out if we had more to give. For a rider to discover new capacities he didn't know he had - that was the whole point of the Tour" -- Lance Armstrong, Every Second Counts, p188
