Chris Wherry Quotations

It's been an incredible year, ... We got the ball rolling early in the season, and our confidence has been high all year. It's been a real pleasure to be on this team.

They're so funny! We are going to have such a great season.

I'm really excited about the coming season. The way this team came together, with me coming from Health Net, Chris coming from Navigators, and other guys pulling out from other teams, it's really made the talent pool more dispersed. And that's what makes racing fun. There's not going to be one team that dominates this year.

That is definitely one of the hardest races we do all year, ... But it definitely fits my style. ... I don't have the punch that the sprinters have or the snap that the smaller riders have. I just outlast everyone in the long run. I can hold my energy longer for the more grueling races.

I think I'm in pretty good form, though I haven't raced a lot in the last month, ... But if I can make it to the final selection with those guys ...

I've been training a lot in Colorado, and I've actually been riding a ton on the mountain bike. I've been climbing up the steepest things I could possibly find in Durango, which is not hard to do. It's good training because it's really hard on the arms.

It was such an incredible feeling to win that race, ... It was an unbelievable feeling, an ecstatic feeling.
