Quotes by Conrad Stoltz

“It was a complete surprise. Ive been racing him all season, and hes never really been in contention.”

“We started climbing together and the moment he started riding I realized that he meant business today. So he made 4:30 on top, and I couldnt believe it.”

“It is really tough. It feels like there is an elephant on your back, you feel flat, your legs feel weak, youre really tired, you have a hard time breathing and its painful. At this altitude everything is so much more painful. If you overextend yourself just a little bit, especially when youre in a technical section and you have to put out a lot of effort just to get over something, the moment youre over it youre in trouble and it takes a very long time to recover.”
