Laurent Jalabert French Athlete Quotations

Also, for a team as strong as like ours, the Tour will always remain the biggest goal of the whole year, and personally I will certainly concentrate most of my energy on this race.

Of course, if this season turns out to be terrible for me - if I get injured again and this prevents me from reaching a satisfying level, then I could change my decision again. But at this moment, it absolutely feels like the right thing for me to continue through 2003.

I'm very aware that to reach the same level and have the same amount of success will be extremely difficult.

We certainly will prepare consciously and professionally, but still you cannot predict the future.

It's impossible to predict if I can do as well as this year or not. I feel the most important thing is to be ready - to be motivated.
