Richard Virenque

I symbolized doping… My phone rarely rings. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of riders who call me.

The more the years go by, the more difficult it gets. I’m getting old.

My first was in 1994 and it’s ten years ago already. It’s been ten years and I’m still around. I won a stage again, like I did last year and the year before.

It was important to score points today and I went for them with my guts.
